Abstract:
|
This paper presents a theoretical framework that simultaneously addresses two deficiencies in current international relations scholarship. First, the paper seeks to enhance understanding of international leadership by introducing a set of indicators designed to facilitate accurate assessments of when leadership is effectively exercised. Second, the paper advances a model to increase understanding of how ideational factors actuate shifting levels of U.S. authority. Building on a more comprehensive definition of leadership developed here, I propose that domestic politics infiltrate decision-making processes consistent with normative concerns that course through the body politic. By constraining political choice and imparting excessive caution, declining domestic approval ratings of the U.S. president contribute to eroded U.S. leadership at the international level. This paper advances the theory that one source of leadership decline may reside in domestic politics with which U.S. presidents must contend. |

As suggested the public-elite dimension explored here is only one causal mechanism by which this author suspects that legitimacy norms impact leadership capacity. Yet the perceptions and opinions of the domestic public are important measures of behavior perceived to be acceptable and in domestic societies we should expect those views to be impact the decision-making structure. It should not be surprising then that when the public is |
