Political Process and Foreign Policy

Dr. Cohen examines the major elements with foreign policy-making roles—public opinion, interest groups, the media of communication, the Executive branch, and the Congress—to determine the nature of their interests in the Japanese peace settlement and their actions respecting it. Then he analyzes the interrelationships among these factors, and the patterns of influence they revealed.
