What is US Presidential Elections and Foreign Policy: Candidates, Campaigns, and Global Politics from FDR to Bill Clinton (Studies In Conflict Diplomacy Peace) about?

While domestic issues loom large in voters' minds during American presidential elections, matters of foreign policy have consistently shaped candidates and their campaigns. From the start of World War II through the collapse of the Soviet Union, presidential hopefuls needed to be perceived as credible global leaders in order to win elections―regardless of the situation at home―and voter behavior depended heavily on whether the nation was at war or peace.

In US Presidential Elections and Foreign Policy , a team of international scholars examines how the relationship between foreign policy and electoral politics evolved through the latter half of the twentieth century.
