Abstract

American presidents often engage in intensive campaigns to obtain public support for their policy initiatives. This core strategy for governing is based on the premise that if presidents are skilled enough to exploit the "bully pulpit," they can successfully persuade or even mobilize public opinion on behalf of their legislative goals. In this book, George Edwards analyzes the results of hundreds of public opinion polls from recent presidencies to assess the success of these efforts. Surprisingly, he finds that presidents typically are not able to change public opinion; even great communicators usually fail to obtain the public's support for their high-priority initiatives. Focusing on presidents' personae, their messages, and the American public, he explains why presidents are often unable to move public opinion and suggests that their efforts to do so may be counterproductive. Edwards argues that shoring up previously existing support is the principal benefit of going public and that "staying private"-negotiating quietly with elites-may often be more conducive to a president's legislative success.

Abstract

With these character sketches of key figures of the American Revolution and illuminating probes of its circumstances, Bernard Bailyn reveals the ambiguities, complexities, and uncertainties of the founding generation as well as their achievements. Using visual documentation& portraits, architecture, allegorical engravings& as well as written sources, Bailyn, one of our most esteemed historians, paints a complex picture of that distant but still remarkably relevant world. He explores the powerfully creative effects of the Founders' provincialism and lays out in fine detail the mingling of gleaming utopianism and tough political pragmatism in Thomas Jefferson's public career, and the effect that ambiguity had on his politics, political thought, and present reputation. And Benjamin Franklin emerges as a figure as cunning in his management of foreign affairs and of his visual image as he was amiable, relaxed, and amusing in his social life. Bailyn shows, too, why it is that the Federalist papers& polemical documents thrown together frantically, helter-skelter, by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in a fierce political battle two hundred years ago& have attained canonical status, not only as a penetrating analysis of the American Constitution but as a timeless commentary on the nature of politics and constitutionalism. Professor Bailyn concludes, in a wider perspective, with an effort to locate the effect of the Founders' imaginative thought on political reformers throughout the Atlantic world. Precisely how their principles were received abroad, Bailyn writes, is as ambiguous as the personalities of the remarkably creative pro- vincials who founded the American nation.

Abstract

Lorsqu'en novembre 1996, Laurent Désiré Kabila émerge au sein d'un mouvement rebelle qui va le porter au pouvoir à Kinshasa, peu se souviennent encore de lui et personne n'est en mesure de reconstituer avec quelques précision sa trajectoire. Son passé demeure enveloppé d'un épais brouillard qu'il aura toujours eu soin d'entretenir. Ce livre cherche, dans toute la mesure du possible, à dissiper ce brouillard, à décrire et analyser les principales étapes du parcours de cet homme précédant son apparition sur le devant de la scène et sa montée au pouvoir. L'avènement de Laurent Désiré Kabila à la tête du Congo fut l'effet d'un exceptionnel concours de circonstances plutôt que l'aboutissement d'une lutte politique. Il reste qu'il eut une vie riche en péripéties politiques et qu'il fut un acteur, longtemps mineur mais finalement central, de la longue histoire des résistances et rébellions congolaises à l'égard des pouvoirs en place. Mais l'analyse montre que, telle qu'elle fut conduite et incarnée par Kabila, l'opposition armée congolaise, loin d'être porteuse d'une alternative, reflétait et reproduisait à plusieurs égards le système qu'elle était censée combattre. S'emparant du pouvoir, Laurent Désiré Kabila se révélera impuissant à reconstruire sur les ruines du régime qui s'était écroulé sous ses yeux. Le présent ouvrage contribue à faire comprendre pourquoi. Reste en suspens l'espoir de tout un peuple martyrisé en quête désespérée d'un avenir meilleur. Comme malgré lui, Kabila aura incarné cet espoir pendant une courte période.
