Item description from seller

Paperback. This book examines President Reagans and his administrations efforts to mobilize public and congressional support for seven of the presidents controversial foreign policy initiatives. Each chapter deals with a distinct foreign policy issue, but they each is related in one way or another to alleged threats to U.S. national security interests by the Soviet Union and its allies. When taken together these case studies clearly illustrate the books larger thrust: a challenge to the conventional wisdom that Reagan was the indisputable Great Communicator. This book contests the accepted wisdom that Reagan was an exemplary and highly effective practitioner of the going public model of presidential communication and leadership, that the bargaining model was relatively unimportant during his administration, and that the so-called public diplomacy regime was a high-value addition to the administrations public communication assets. The author employs an analytical approach to the historical record, draws on several academic disciplines and grounds his arguments in extensive archival and empirical research. The book concludes that the public communication efforts of the Reagan administration in the field of foreign policy were neither exceptionally skillful nor notably successful, that the public diplomacy regime had more negative than positive impact, that the going public model had minimal utility in the presidents efforts to sell his foreign policy initiatives, and that the executive bargaining model played a central role in Reagans governing strategy and essentially defined his presidential leadership role in the area of foreign policy making. This study vividly demonstrates the enormous gap between the real-word Reagan and the one that often exists in public mythology. Kane presents a critical study of the Reagan administrations public communication efforts to sell the presidents controversial foreign policy initiatives to the public and Congress. Kane challenges existing scholarship on Reagans communication and leadership to demonstrate the executive bargaining model and public diplomacy regime failed. This item is printed on demand.
