POL TRANSITIONS AN FOREIGN

One of the first systematic studies of the problems of political transition in democratic countries. Foreign affairs represents an area in which a nation's chief executive office exercises great authority as well as being an area in which smooth transitions of power are crucial for continuity. Policymakers and scholars should benefit from the insights these essays by Don K. Price and Robert H. Evans provide about the experiences of democratic countries with whom the United States has shared governmental ideas. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.

Don K. Price is Professor Emeritus and former dean of the Kennedy School at Harvard. Robert H. Evans is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Government and Foreign Affiars at the University of Virginia.
