Do Morals Matter

A concise yet penetrating analysis of how modern American presidents have--and have not--incorporated ethics into their foreign policy.Americans constantly make moral judgments about presidents and foreign policy. Unfortunately, many of these assessments are poorly thought through. In Do Morals Matter?, Joseph S. Nye, Jr. provides a concise yet penetrating analysis of the role of ethics in US foreign policy since Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidency onward. Nye works through each presidency from FDR to Trump and scores their foreign policy on three ethical dimensions: their intentions, the means they used, and the consequences of their decisions. He also evaluates their leadership qualities, elaborating on which approaches work and which ones do not. Regardless of a president's policy preference, Nye shows that each one was not fully constrained by the structure of the system and actually had choices. Since we so often apply moral reasoning to foreign policy, Nye suggests how to do it better. Most importantly, he shows that presidents need to factor in both the political context and the availability of resources when deciding how to implement an ethical policy-especially in a future international system that presents not only great power competition from China and Russia, but a host of additional transnational threats.

'...highly recommended...' - Mehmet Akif Koç, Insight Turkey

'Analysing the ethics of US foreign policy under each presidential administration since 1945, Nye scores the policies of each presidency according to their intentions, the means they used and their consequences. He examines each president's leadership qualities and considers how US foreign policy might best address contemporary challenges such as great-power competi-tion and climate change.' - Survival: Global Politics and Strategy

'In times like these, it is important to appreciate the role that moral reasoning should play in foreign policy. This is especially true in a democracy, where sustaining global involvement requires support from citizens. Joe Nye is one of our foremost and engaging analysts of American diplomacy, and in this book he provides a clear-eyed guide for reengaging our moral compass.' - Walter Isaacson, Distinguished Fellow and Former CEO, Aspen Institute, and Professor of History, Tulane University

'From the doyen of US foreign policy thinkers, a powerful warning against domestic populist politics, which not only narrow our moral vision but defeat US purposes around the world.' - O.A. Westad, Yale University

'With characteristic insight and precision, Joseph Nye raises tough questions of how much ethics should shape a nation's foreign policy, provides a sweeping review of how past presidents have embraced or rejected ethical imperatives, and constructs a helpful scorecard for judging future presidents. This book takes on even greater significance as a growing number of nations-led by the U.S.-nakedly put self interest first.' - David Gergen, CNN Senior Political Analyst, and Founding Director, Harvard Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership

'In Do Morals Matter? Joseph S. Nye argues persuasively that in foreign policy, good intentions must be accompanied by the use of appropriate means that generate beneficial consequences. His astute analysis of American presidents since World War II demonstrates that 'contextual intelligence' is crucial for moral principles to yield good results.' - Robert O. Keohane, Princeton University

'A lucid, thoughtful and original examination of the role morality plays as American presidents shape their foreign policy. As Professor Nye shows convincingly in this highly readable book, leaders and citizens alike make assumptions, decisions and judgments which reflect their own views about what is good and bad. Yet again he has contributed much to our better understanding of international relations.' - Margaret MacMillan, Emeritus Professor of International History, University of Oxford

Good quality and cannot beat the value you get with a suit
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I recently purchased the WEEN CHARM Men's Suits Slim Fit for my son's homecoming and I must say, I am impressed with the quality and fit of this suit. Firstly, the material used in this suit is of exceptional quality. The fabric feels soft and smooth, and it has a nice weight to it which gives it a luxurious feel. The suit doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all. The slim fit design is impeccable. It hugs my son's body in all the right places, giving him a sharp and stylish look. The suit is tailored to perfection and accentuates his physique beautifully. I also appreciate the attention to detail in the craftsmanship. The stitching is neat and sturdy, and there were no loose threads or flaws that I could find. The suit looks like it was made with care and precision. Additionally, the suit was surprisingly comfortable. My son didn't complain about any discomfort or restriction of movement throughout the evening, which is always a plus. The only reason I haven't given it a five-star rating is because the suit did require some minor alterations for a perfect fit. Nonetheless, this is a small inconvenience considering the overall satisfaction we had with this purchase. In conclusion, I highly recommend the WEEN CHARM Men's Suits Slim Fit. It is a stylish, well-made suit that will definitely make a statement at any formal event. My son looked dashing in it and received many compliments.

Fit like a glove and soft to the touch.
Size: Small, Color: Black
My son loved the suit. It was not itchy. The fabric was soft. He did not like the vest but it is because he normally wears baggy clothes. He did not want a slim fit suit but he ended feeling good in it. For the price you can't miss. He is 140 lbs and is 5'7". We used the sizing chart for reference and bought size small. The length and waist of the pants were perfect and the arms were just right.

Complete men's suit for under $70!!! Crazy!! My husband is thrilled with this suit! We ordered a XXXL but it was a bit baggy. Ordered the double XL and it was perfect! Husband is 6'1, waist 38, broad chested. No adjustments or hemming needed! Love it!

Color is not accurate
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Suit quality is good. This is NOT dark grey. Its a very standard grey when you have it in person. I might return just for this reason as we were really looking for a dark grey suit.
