The leadership styles adopted by the presidential candidate during the campaign are very influential on the leadership style adopted during the term in the office. The leadership adopted aims to influence others to understand and agree on political on economic polices of presidential candidate. The leadership style has great importance in economic performance in a country because it places responsibility to various party leaders in the country.
The leadership of a presidential candidate forms a political policy of a party, therefore once they form a government it influences their government policies which will determine the direction of all policies of the government formed.
Dreams of peace and prosperity are usually determined by the political policy of a country.
The foreign policy of the United States in the Americas has largely been driven by considerations of realpolitik and maintenance of the sometimes precarious balance of power in the region for the past sixty years. At the end of the Second World War the United States emerged as the undisputed economic, military and political leader in the Western hemisphere. With much of Europe in ruins and emergence ideological conflict between the Soviet empire and the United States, the US earned it place as the preeminent Western power following the defeat of fascism and Nazism in 1945.

The power and influence of the United States in the post-War period stretched around the world yet remained particularly powerful close to home.
In seeking to define something as complex as the elaboration of US security policy, a variety of factors must be analyzed. Fundamentally though, this research paper has shown that strategic interests have trumped other concerns in foreign policy, particularly during the era of bipolarity, known colloquially as the Cold War. During this period, intangible factors were superseded by strategic geopolitical concerns and this remains true with respect to American foreign policy both in the Cold War as well as in the post-War period. Containment was a paramount security concern for the United States and significant energy was exerted on containing the influence of the Soviet Union, particularly when it’s influence was felt close to home, in the Americas. In addition, the theories of structural realism and hegemonic power best explain US foreign policy during our period of analysis.
Today, the United States operates in a unipolar world and is the world’s hegemonic state.
Although state behavior is less constrained than during the Cold War, US state interest today reflects power conditions and the maintenance of overall system stability which promotes the supreme status of the United States in the international system. Power is a “hard” issue and a primary concern for survival; so called “soft issues” like human rights and democracy are far less salient. In the anarchic world of international affairs, hard or core issues always supersede soft issues and are integral to defining state interest and behavior. American national security has depended on it and continues to do so in the elaboration of its foreign policy.
