Each mission agency needs to have its own guidelines for procedures in crisis situations. These guidelines are published here to help others as they consider their own procedures under such circumstances.

Public relations research has paid considerable attention to foreign terrorist crises but relatively little attention to domestic ones—despite the growing salience of domestic terrorism in the United States. This study content analyzes 30 years of network television news coverage of domestic terrorism to gain insight into four theoretical issues of enduring interest within the literature on news framing and crisis management: sourcing, contextualization, ideological labeling, and definitional uncertainty. Results indicate that the sources called upon to contextualize domestic terrorism have shifted over time, that ideological labels are more often applied on the right than the left, and that definitional uncertainty has increased markedly in recent years. Implications for the theory and practice of public relations and crisis management are discussed.

Researchers are increasingly interested in the creative chaos produced by American strategic thinking, especially after the official disclosure by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in 2005 that the theory of creative chaos has become a priority of US foreign policy in dealing with critical issues in the Middle East. And Iraq to achieve the goals and interests of the United States and to ensure the need for the requirements of imperial construction without taking into account the material and human costs for the purpose of substantive content reveals the secret link between the religious values on which the American society since His first concern is the American political and strategic orientation, which is characterized by its religious character


Significance This comes after German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said in December that the “retreat” of the United States under Trump marked a fundamental break in Euro-Atlantic relations. He excluded the possibility that relations might return to pre-Trump normal after his departure and concluded that Germany had to adjust to a new world. Impacts Divergence in strategic outlook between the United States and Germany will complicate crisis management, for example in the Middle East. EU states will have to choose strategically between Washington and Brussels at a time when preferences about the EU’s future diverge. Different intra-EU priorities could complicate EU reform and tempt Trump to play allies off against each other.

North Korea's nuclear weapons test prompted U.S. international activism to curb Pyongyang's proliferation and press it to negotiate. Preoccupied with higher priorities at home and abroad, the Bush administration generally continued along established paths in Asia. Initiatives came in U.S. relations with India, Kazakhstan, and Southeast Asia.

Competitive strategy is one of the most important activities that top management team members can undertake. In the global marketplace perceptions of strategic moves and plausible foreign markets to enter can vary based on cultural differences, economic conditions and past experiences. In this study we match the Miles and Snow strategic orientations with possible entry into different foreign markets. An in-depth survey of strategic orientation perceptions is developed and, based on a two-country research design, we obtain responses from 89 individuals from The United States and Saudi Arabia. A review of literature related to strategic orientation and cultural differences is performed and results suggest differences in perceptions of strategic preference and rating of promising foreign markets between the two national cohort groups. Three salient hypotheses are tested and supported related to topics such as where individuals prefer to invest, cultural distance and economic systems. Our differentiating contributions are (a) methodological, we use survey data rather than archival firm data as well as vignettes, and (b) theoretical, we assess managerial perceptions of foreign entry choice as opposed to firm level decisions. Managerial and future research implications are also discussed.
