Perceptions of Policy Makers

Whether partisans of executive leadership or Congressional controls acknowledge it or not, American foreign policy is conducted within the framework of the Constitution, which mandates the separation of powers. Essays illustrating this point are: Foreign Policy and the Separation of Powers, Secretary of State Dean Rusk; Presidential Transitions and Bureaucracy, Louis J. Halle; Staffing the White House for Foreign Policy, I.M. Destler; Roosevelt to Reagan, Hedley W. Donovan; Presidential Transitions: Neglected Problems, Secretary Dean Rusk and Ambassador George McGhee. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.
