Compare and contrast the delegate and trustee models as they relate to the public’s role in U.S. foreign policy.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should identify the delegate model as one in which politicians and officials make decisions based on the preferences of the majority of their constituents. The trustee model, on the other hand, should be identified as one in which officials make decisions based on their own knowledge and experience; this model is based on the legitimacy given to officials by the voting public. Answers could connect the models to theories of international relations (i.e., the delegate model relates to liberalism and the trustee model to realism).
