Leadership is dynamic; it is a continuous process and ever-changing relationship between numerous different factors. The research focuses on political leadership in transitional situations and the efforts of leadership in the transformation process from weak and fragmented states or communities to peaceful and viable states. The above is tested vis-a-vis U.S. foreign policy towards the Middle East, which will have to be adaptive and flexible on the one hand in order to show ability and will; but will also have to be consistent on the other, so that it can show commitment and impartiality.

Political scientists, leadership scholars, and international relations negotiators may have an interest in this work. High school through college and graduate students in political science, global studies, international relations, and communications courses may find this text useful for term papers about political leaders and leadership.Related items:
