In his other acclaimed books about the American presidency, Fred Greenstein assesses the personal strengths and weaknesses of presidents from George Washington to Barack Obama. Here, he evaluates the leadership styles of the Civil War-era presidents. Using his trademark no-nonsense approach, Greenstein looks at the presidential qualities of James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and Abraham Lincoln. For each president, he provides a concise history of the man's life and presidency, and evaluates him in the areas of public communication, organizational capacity, political skill, policy vision, cognitive style, and emotional intelligence. Greenstein sheds light on why Buchanan is justly ranked as perhaps the worst president in the nation's history, how Pierce helped set the stage for the collapse of the Union and the bloodiest war America had ever experienced, and why Lincoln is still considered the consummate American leader to this day. Presidents and the Dissolution of the Union reveals what enabled some of these presidents, like Lincoln and Polk, to meet the challenges of their times--and what caused others to fail. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPolitical leadership$zUnited States$vCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1783-1865 610 $aAbraham Lincoln. 610 $aAmerican Civil War. 610 $aAmerican presidency. 610 $aAmerican presidents. 610 $aBarack Obama. 610 $aCalifornia purchase. 610 $aDemocratic Party. 610 $aFranklin Pierce. 610 $aFugitive Slave Act. 610 $aGeorge Washington. 610 $aJames Buchanan. 610 $aJames K.

The debate over Asian values and the use of human rights diplomacy are the most obvious manifestations of divisions between Asia and the West and reflect particular world views and historical legacies.In this new book, scholars from the United States and several Asian countries debate fundamental issues such as 'Asian values', 'peaceful evolution' and cultural imperialism.
