The Tuesday Lunch Series welcomes Andy Katz, associate professor of political science, presenting “Understanding the Impact of Presidential Personality on US Foreign Policy.”
There has been a lot of general interest in the foreign policy implications of presidential personality over the past few months. Interestingly, there has been renewed focus among foreign policy analysts over the past couple of decades in the systematic study of how individual characteristics affect decisions of state. What are the limitations of presidential influence on foreign policy? How have insights from psychology helped political scientists better understand how individual characteristics can shape US foreign policy?
