Summary / Abstract (Note)The Bush administration's concept of international ‘leadership’ is, in foreign-policy circles, fairly conventional. Leadership means acting, and telling others how to act; it means taking the lead, sometimes alone, and recognising that others will come along once the course seems inevitable. Yet this particular concept contradicts every other theory of leadership in existence. Business-management literature can shed light on relations among states, for the best of this writing on leadership speaks to human nature. In a world where a nascent coalition of like-minded democracies is looking more and more like a true international community, states that aspire to global leadership will, increasingly, need to build consensus on the basis of a shared vision. This perspective strongly reinforces the call for greater multilateralism in US foreign policy.
