Description: "In nine detailed case studies based on interviews with participants and on recently released documents in the Carter presidential library, Robert Strong carefully examines how the thirty-ninth president of the United States addressed and accomplished the work of foreign policy during his term.

Working in the World illuminates the nature and range of the "work" the presidency is given to do in foreign affairs; offers insight into American foreign policy during what we now know was the decline of the cold war and the emergence of a new world order; and defends foreign policymaking in the Carter years against the oversimplifications of contemporary media and punditry."--BOOK JACKET.
