In an earlier time when the major parties were less polarized, this leadership dilemma, while challenging, was not nearly as vexing as it is today. American presidents now find themselves with little room to maneuver, compelled to serve the Constitution on the one hand and yet caught within bitter partisan disputes and large numbers of unaffiliated voters on the other. The contributors to this volume investigate how recent presidents have navigated these increasingly rocky political waters. Focusing on campaign strategy, presidential rhetoric, relations with Congress, domestic and foreign policy, The Presidential Leadership Dilemma presents a wide-ranging, detailed, and fascinating study of how contemporary presidents face the challenge at the heart of every presidency. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPolitical leadership$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical leadership$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 615 0$aPresidents$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical leadership$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical leadership$xHistory 676 $a352.23/60973 701 $aAzari$b Julia R.$f1979-$01641709 701 $aBrown$b Lara M$01641710 701 $aNwokora$b Zim G.$f1983-$01641711 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813773903321 996 $aThe presidential leadership dilemma$93986017 997 $aUNINA
