The Change Toward Cooperation in the George W. Bush Administration's Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Toward North Korea
This book offers a case study in foreign policy change: It examines why the Bush administration suddenly redirected its nuclear nonproliferation policy toward North Korea in the aftermath of North Korea's first nuclear test in October 2006, abandoning its former confrontational approach in favor of a more accommodating line. Existing explanations of this course reversal draw on the security implications of a growing crisis on the Korean Peninsula, U.S. domestic politics, and changing decision-making dynamics within the Bush administration. Employing before-after comparison, the study refutes these accounts - and it offers an alternative explanation: The Bush administration altered its nonproliferation policy toward North Korea toward a cooperative course because after the nuclear test, it perceived fundamentally improved prospects for fruitful cooperation on North Korea's denuclearization.
The SAGE Handbook of European Foreign Policy
During the last two decades the study of European foreign policy has experienced remarkable growth, presumably reflecting a more significant international role of the European Union. The Union has significantly expanded its policy portfolio and though empty symbolic politics still exists, the Union’s international relations have become more substantial and its foreign policy more focused. European foreign policy has become a dynamic policy area, being adapted to changing challenges and environments, such as the Arab Spring, new emerging economies/powers; the crisis of multilateralism and much more. The SAGE Handbook of European Foreign Policy, Two-Volume set, is a major reference work for ...
History and Foreign Policy in France and Germany
Why do states similar in size, resources and capabilities significantly differ in their basic orientations and actions across major domains in foreign policy, security and defense? This book addresses this important question by analyzing the major differences between the foreign policies of France and Germany over extended periods of time.
Risk and Presidential Decision-making
This book aims at gauging whether the nature of US foreign policy decision-making has changed after the Cold War as radically as a large body of literature seems to suggest, and develops a new framework to interpret presidential decision-making in foreign policy. It locates the study of risk in US foreign policy in a wider intellectual landscape that draws on contemporary debates in historiography, international relations and Presidential studies. Based on developments in the health and environment literature, the book identifies the President as the ultimate risk-manager, demonstrating how a President is called to perform a delicate balancing act between risks on the domestic/political side...

Building the Asia-Pacific
The United States and Japan supported the creation of Asia-Pacific multilateral institutions, first in the economic realm (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) and then in the security (the ASEAN Regional Forum), after having comfortably tolerated a conspicuous absence of such regional arrangements for more than four decades. In both cases of regional institution-building, Japan was an early proponent of the idea to create these regional groupings, taking unusually active diplomatic initiatives. The United States, on the other hand, took little initiative in the first stage, initially responding indifferently or negatively to the institution-building proposals. Yet, at one point, it started to favor the proposals, and eventually, participated in both cases of institution-building. Given these characteristics of the two countries' attitudes, the chief question addressed is: Why did Japan and the United States each exhibit such distinctive behavior patterns across the two institution-building cases of APEC and the ARF, despite obvious sectoral differences---economic and security---between the two regional institutions?
Dynamics Vs. Tradition in Chinese Foreign Policy Motivation
This book presents original evidence of a previously undisclosed dark side to China's Hong Kong policy after 1982. It documents a covert program of immigration from the mainland to Hong Kong which was designed to put in place a classic fifth column of Communist loyalists to be used if all other institution-based arrangements for the power transfer of the British colony to Chinese rule failed. This finding is revealing and important in its own right as a contribution to study of the Hong Kong transition. But the book focuses more on the broader significance of the motivation of such a fifth column policy for both the study of Chinese foreign policy and international relations theory. Studies ...
