Bureaucracy and Statesmanship

by Robert A Strong

Published 9 September 1986
Henry Kissinger serves as a powerful example of one who managed to dominate the foreign policy bureaucracies in the Nixon and Ford Administrations. The author asserts that the former Secretary of State has redirected our thinking about these problems of foreign policy, particularly because Kissinger argued that lack of statesmanship is actually at the heart of the matter.
