This work continues the Miller Center's study of presidential transitions. The purpose of this volume is to suggest some yardsticks to use to measure the success of an American presidential transition, and to challenge the common notion that success is to be found in the degree to which the incoming president and his administration accomplish everything they desire or have promised. Instead, the editors describe transitions as highly pluralistic institutions, and contend that true success is to be found in the degree to which all these players can obtain something of what they want from a transition. Concentrating on transitions as they affect and are affected by foreign and security policy, the editors identify major players in the turnover and their interests. Seven recognized authorities in politics, government, and foreign policy have contributed essays to this work in which they respond to the arguments posed by the editors, demonstrating the range of opinions on this subject. The concluding rejoinder by the editors draws connections between the varied opinions. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.

The Transfer of Power Between Presidential Administrations examines the problems that can occur when a new president enters office, with a focus on historical case studies. The transition between presidents—especially when changing parties—is a wildcard in U.S. foreign policy that often confuses or concerns nations engaged with the United States. Though there are systems in place to ensure information gets passed from one administration to another, ideas and their execution can change dramatically when a new president takes office. Using case studies of six different incoming administrations during the Cold War and 21st century, this book will explore how the successes and failures in presidential transitions have had long-term effects on U.S. foreign policy, grand strategy, and international position. Looking at transitions involving multiple presidents, this book offers a fresh perspective on how foreign policy is formulated and carried out. The book ends with an analysis of 21st-century transitions, making this work timely and important. This book will be of interest to students of modern American history, American politics and the modern presidency, and international relations.
