Description: Bolton (political science and global studies, California State U., San Marcos) considers domestic and external sources of US policymaking on national security in the post-9/11 world. He explores US foreign policy history and the Cold War consensus; the National Security Council and its evolution up to the present; its amendments, including the 1949 reorganization and the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols Act; George W. Bush's version of the president-NSC-policymaking model; and how US national security and foreign policymaking changed following 9/11, including the implementation of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA).
