Abstract:

The case examines the decision that led to President Bush's historic speech to the United Nations Security Council on September 12, 2002, challenging members to act decisively with the United States to end Iraq's weapons of mass destruction threat. The case brings into focus many of the central foreign policy issues and debates surrounding the march to war against Iraq, as well as far broader questions concerning U.S. foreign policy and international relations. The decision reflected the interplay of many different personal, political, and international pressures, including the president's own strong predispositions, ideological wars between Americanists and the old guard foreign policy elite, bureaucratic infighting, and the powerful domestic imperatives of Tony Blair—a trusted friend of the president and the United States' closest ally on the Iraq question. The A case will concentrate on the events of the six weeks leading up to the President's decisive meeting with Prime Minister Blair just prior to the UN address. Relevant historical and other backgound will be included. The B case will reveal the president's decision as it was manifest in the September 12 speech, and will lay out the consequences of that decision as they have played out through the end of the war on Iraq. A teaching note will provide a teaching plan as and suggested discussion questions and analysis of the decision. The case is rich in insights at the individual, unit and international levels of IR theory.
