According to Machiavelli, in his book The Prince, this includes taking actions that are not favored by the majority. Though Machiavelli was born on May 3rd, 1469 and only wrote his book in 1513, his ideas were so significant that they apply even to contemporary leaders. Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany, is facing situations that can either prove her strength as a leader or set the European Union on a road to destruction. On top of dealing with the major Greek debt crisis, she has been faced with the task of deciding how to handle the Syrian refugees.

    The words of Clinton are explanatory when he wrote about Blair, “Tony listened to my advice graciously but ignored it completely by immediately accepting a new job as Middle East envoy for the Quartet.”2 Sometimes these ideas are based on party lines that are more Republican or more Democratic. Sometimes ideas are used to mesh together right-wing and left-wing thinking. In most cases these political leaders are using history to their advantage. They will analyze policies that have been successful in order to propel their term. The hope is to be reelected and served a second term, and to correct on hand problems that lie in the way of society from flourishing. In this paper I will be looking at domestic policies being implemented in foreign governments by investigating the adoption of Bill Clinton’s ideas and policies by Tony Blair for use in the U.K.…

    This means that the President of the Republic, the executive head of state , and a Prime Minister, the head of government appointed by the President who is accountable to parliament, work together to direct the government while the President is particularly influential in matters that concern foreign policy or national security. The Prime Minister’s main role is to bring bills in front of the National assembly , who will decide whether a bill may be passed or not. His other functions may be merely to accomplish the will of the President if he comes from the same political party. If he comes from a different political party, then his role is closer to other European Prime Ministers, meaning that he is more independent and must achieve compromises with the President.…
