In The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru, Andrew Kennedy answers this question through in-depth studies of Chinese foreign policy under Mao Zedong and Indian foreign policy under Jawaharlal Nehru. Drawing on international relations theory and psychological research, Kennedy offers a new theoretical explanation for bold leadership in foreign policy, one that stresses the beliefs that leaders develop about the 'national efficacy' of their states. He shows how this approach illuminates several of Mao and Nehru's most important military and diplomatic decisions, drawing on archival evidence and primary source materials from China, India, the United States and the United Kingdom. A rare blend of theoretical innovation and historical scholarship, The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru is a fascinating portrait of how foreign policy decisions are made.International relationsPhilosophyWorld politics1945-1989ChinaForeign relations1949-1976IndiaForeign relations1947-1984International relationsPhilosophy.World politics327.51009/045POL011000bisacshKennedy Andrew Bingham1968-1685354MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815909803321The international ambitions of Mao and Nehru4057428UNINA
