Product DescriptionSince the advent of the contemporary US national security apparatus in 1947, entrepreneurial public officials have tried to reorient the course of the nation's foreign policy. Acting inside the National Security Council system, some principals and highranking officials have worked tirelessly to generate policy change and innovation on the issues they care about. These entrepreneurs attempt to set the foreign policy agenda, frame policy problems and solutions, and orient the decisionmaking process to convince the president and other decision makers to choose the course they advocate. In National Security Entrepreneurs and the Making of American Foreign Policy Vincent Boucher, CharlesPhilippe David, and Karine Prmont develop a new concept to study entrepreneurial behaviour among foreign policy advisers and offer the first comprehensive framework of analysis to answer this crucial question: why do some entrepreneurs succeed in guaranteeing the adoption of novel policies while others fail? They explore case studies of attempts to reorient US foreign policy waged by National Security Council entrepreneurs, examining the key factors enabling success and the main forces preventing the adoption of a preferred option: the entrepreneur's profile, presidential leadership, major players involved in the policy formulation and decisionmaking processes, the national political context, and the presence or absence of significant opportunities. By carefully analyzing significant diplomatic and military decisions of the Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton administrations, and offering a preliminary account of contemporary national security entrepreneurship under presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, this book makes the case for an agentbased explanation of foreign policy change and continuity.Review'In a welcome new volume, Vincent Boucher, CharlesPhilippe David, and Karine Premont enrich and extend the literature on foreign policy change by examining the efforts of National Security Council entrepreneurs to change the direction of US foreign policies. The authors' sweeping analysis from the Johnson through Trump administrations explains why some efforts succeed while others fail. Their analytical model of National Security Council entrepreneurship opens new opportunities for foreign policy research and understanding.' Ralph G.
