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

Promising Results So Far, Easy to Use
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz, Color: White
I recently purchased this silicone scar gel and have been using it consistently for a few weeks. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it absorbs fairly quickly without leaving a sticky residue. So far, I’ve noticed that my skin feels more hydrated and slightly smoother in the treated area. It’s still early to say how effective it will be for long-term scar reduction, but the initial results are promising. One thing to note is that results may vary depending on the type and age of the scar, so patience is important. Overall, I think it’s a decent product worth trying if you’re looking for a scar care solution.

Clearing up my scars
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz, Color: White
This Mitgary Advanced Scar Gel works really well as a moisturizing aid to my ongoing wound care. It hasn't irritated my skin at all and seems to stop the itchiness that often accompanies my healing wounds. What a relief! It’s not too thick and sticky and goes on like a gel that spreads evenly and stays over scared areas with no problems. There is no overpowering fragrance but rather a pleasing clean clinical smell that actually pleases me. Among the formula it has Vitamin E, Retinol, Panthenol and Arginine in addition to the main silicone ingredient. So , as my scars fade away I'm happy with the results so far and will continue to use.

Best Scar Cream I’ve Ever Tried
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz, Color: White, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz, Color: White
Love this stuff! I have been using this scar cream for over a year now and have seen huge results within a couple weeks. I love this scar cream because it works in significantly reducing the appearance and coloring of scars, lasts a long time, bigger product than I’ve found in any drug store or pharmacy,!and is affordable! I used to go to drug stores and grocery store such as Walgreen or Walmart to buy scar cream until I found this Advanced Silicone Scar Gel on Amazon. The only scar creams that I could find at local drug stores and grocery stores were brand names scar creams that were tiny and expensive! The scar creams that you buy at drug stores and grocery stores are in tiny tubes about the size of one finger and they cost about $20 and over! Even the off brand Scar creams I found are $15 plus and are also the size of a finger. This product is great for big scars, continued usage, and works well for post acne scars. This is my 2nd time buying from this company and I will continue to support them!

Amazing product !
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz, Color: White, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz, Color: White
This scar gel is amazing! Feels wonderful on your skin. Helps reduce friction from rubbing your skin, which plastic surgeon encouraged me to do to my scars. He said it helped with healing. I can already vouch for silicone as far as helping to reduce the appearance of scars as I have many from surgery. Most of the scarring is almost invisible now. I have tried many other types of products but this is the best I have tried and will continue using. Good size and great price.

Surprised.
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz, Color: White
Okay surprised this is working so well, as based on the packaging the legitimacy felt low with weird spacing and typos. That said… it seems to be working? I prefer scar tape but have a few spots that it’s tricky to keep on and this seems to working great for that. I generally have pretty sensitive skin and thus far this isn’t irritating at all and it is helping to further fade surgical scars. It also does seem like a pretty good value at this price point.
