This article examines the role of former National Security Advisor (NSA) James Jones in the Obama administration. I argue that Jones served as an administrator and failed to achieve a close advisory relationship with the president and ceded many aspects of coordination and management of the foreign policy‐making process to Deputy NSA Tom Donilon and other actors within the administration. The article then concludes with a discussion of the continued importance and influence of presidential management style on the role, power, and influence of the NSA in U.S. foreign policy making.

The early 1950s witnessed a significant shift in the American attitude toward the Middle East. GB, the dominant Western power in the region, was faltering, while the US, already the dominant power in the Western world, remained a newcomer to the region. In the early post-WWII years, American policymakers often acted as junior partners to the British, hoping that the latter could retain their predominant position. By the time of the Truman administration, the US was prepared for a more active role in the region. The aim of this article is to investigate this shift in attitude, & to single out the emergence of a consensual perspective toward the region within the US government as the key to understanding the historical shift. 1 Table.
