Shed Light

This paper demonstrates the most formidable challenges that the Policy Planning Staff in the Department of State has been facing since it was created in 1947 by G. Marshall and G. Kennan. In the first place attention is paid to the history of this institution. The following turning points were identified: the creation under G. Kennan and the incumbency of H. Kissinger as a Secretary of State. Then there are debated a few most important issues which the Policy Planning Staff deals with. It comprises difficulties in exerting influence, impossibility of merging the focus on strategic thinking with operational disposability. Finally, in the article there are presented some ideas of Z. Brzezinski who sought to enhance the Staff's performance. The intention of this article is to shed light on the obstacles that the policy planners have to tackle in order to effectively impact the American foreign policy. This issue has not been exhaustively discussed yet in the Polish scientific literature.

Nine experts on Cold War history offer commentaries about John Lewis Gaddis's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of George F. Kennan, the first head of the U.S. State Department's Policy Planning Staff. The commentators come from several countries and offer a wide range of perspectives about Gaddis's George F. Kennan: An American Life, published by Penguin Books in 2011. Although most of the commentators express highly favorable assessments of the book, they also raise numerous points of criticism. Two of the commentators, Barton J. Bernstein and Anders Stephanson, present extended critiques of Gaddis's biography. The forum concludes with a reply by Gaddis to all the commentaries, especially those by Bernstein and Stephanson.
