| Popis: | The organizational process, bureaucratic politics, and presidential management models of U.S. foreign policy decision making have dominated scholarly analysis. However, these models have difficulty explaining major changes in policy. This article modifies the garbage-can model of organizational choice, combining it with the foreign policy decision-making models, to explain policy shifts. If the four streams of policy hypothesized by the garbage-can process are divided into active and passive categories, policy shifts are a two-step process: a catalytic phase in which decision makers decide whether they see an opportunity to change established policy, followed by a connecting phase in which decision makers try to connect policy streams to produce a policy shift. During this second phase, the foreign policy models are most useful. Further study of policy shifts is important in a complex and unstable post-cold-war environment in which policy shifts may be more typical. |
