Dissertation: “The Power of Beliefs and Experience: Dispositional vs. Situational Policy Choices in U.S. Policy toward the Soviet Union”
Abstract: This study demonstrates the effect experience has on leaders’ responses to changes in the external environment. With a particular emphasis on U.S.-Soviet relations, in-depth case studies specifically address why, given changes similar in intensity although not content, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan altered policy toward the Soviet Union based on actions taken by the Kremlin, while Dwight D. Eisenhower and George Bush did not. The main argument presented here is that attitudes formed from extensive foreign policy experience persevere and usually lead the actor to inflexibility in policy formation.
