How effective was the leadership provided by the Clinton administration in developing and implementing innovative policies to counter the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction? Joseph R. Cerami, drawing on his background in national security studies, analyzes the organizational leadership and policy innovation within the U.S. government during the 1990s. By examining specific case studies, the author argues that the internal dynamics of U.S. government agencies and the strategic vision of political leaders are the primary drivers of success in international security affairs.
