Abstract
The new President faces a complex, unwieldy, and difficult world of international politics as he enters office in January, 1989. Like all new Presidents, he will be faced with the understandable but often counterproductive impulse to review and revise everything that his predecessor has done. It is very much in the nature of our political system that transition teams and new sets of advisors (or recycled old sets) feel the need to tell the political world of Washington that they will do things differently in foreign policy.
