Zusammenfassung:Modern presidents have continued to operate within the context of what James MacGregor Burns first characterized as the presidential government model of leadership. This particular model was, in large part, fueled by the Cold War. During this period foreign policy was primarily the domain of the executive branch. The Congress acquiesced to this executive dominant relationship. The end of the Cold War has transformed international politics and confronted this leadership model with a set of anomalies. Successful presidential leadership in the post Cold War era will require a model based upon executive/congressional collaboration. This study discusses the anomalies confronting presidential leadership and assesses two potential alternative models of leadership.
