Features: The head of state of a country, especially the leader of a major country, must handle numerous complex domestic and foreign affairs every day. While their personal intelligence and wisdom are undoubtedly important, the capabilities of any individual are ultimately limited. They must rely on the strong support of various advisors around them to effectively fulfill their duties. These senior assistants and strategists are usually referred to as the "cabinet." The Foreign Heads of State and Their Cabinets reveals the inner workings of how some foreign heads of state select their cabinets, rely on them, highly value and fully utilize their intelligence, and how the cabinets loyally serve their leaders. This book is rich in information, covers a broad scope, is highly informative and data-driven, and is also very readable, making it suitable for diplomats, researchers, students, officials, and a wide range of readers.
