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

Better value & quality
I was using the Paula’s brand but stopped ordering because the price kept going up. This came up in my search and it’s almost the same except it has a stronger concentration & has a few more added benefits. It’s also about half the price. This product works great & I’ve been using TruSkin Vit. C moisturizer for years now so I knew their other products work for me and are good quality.

Bye bye ingrowns and dark spots
I love this exfoliant, I've bought it 3 times already. I use it on all my hyperpigmentation on my back, underarms, and face. It really helps with my ingrown hairs and reduces the appearance of dark spots. Super effective, I love it!

Great product!
I use this once a week. I apply with my fingertips. (It is liquid, so a little goes a long way) After you wash your face for the night- wait a few minutes then apply this. If you don’t wait it might sting for a few minutes- so wait.. Apply your moisturizer after. My face was so soft the next day after one use. It is now a regular in my skin care routine. I do not use another active like retinol or tea tree serum the day after.. just moisturizer. Would recommend and will buy again.

Good product
This seems to be working really well. I used to use a different brand of BHA and I like this one better. I do wish they had an eye dropper version, but it’s fine.
