As the international system undergoes its most profound reordering since the end of the Cold War, the assumptions that once anchored America's global role are no longer analytically sufficient. Intensifying great-power rivalry, the weaponization of economic leverage, and accelerating geoeconomic polarization are reshaping the strategic environment faster than inherited explanatory frames can account for. This book advances a new conceptual architecture for interpreting US foreign policy -- transformative depth -- to distinguish among the policies that presidential administrations employ to reconstitute, reform, or stabilize the international order, or to minimize US engagement in its management. The framework clarifies the deeper logics through which the United States positions herself amid a tumultuous global transformation. At the center of the study is a reconsideration of the modern presidency as a structurally pivotal force during periods of systemic inflection. Through a comparative examination of the leadership styles and decision-making practices of Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden, the book shows how personality traits and professional backgrounds interact with external pressures to produce distinct trajectories in foreign, economic, and security policy. The result is a theoretically original and empirically grounded account of American statecraft in an era of global strategic uncertainty.

Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome
<p><i>Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome</i> covers the latest research on the biological, motivational, cognitive, situational, and dispositional factors that drive activity-travel behavior. Organized into three sections, <i>Retrospective and Prospective Survey of Travel Behavior Research, New Research Methods and Findings, and Future Research</i>, the chapters of this book provide evidence of progress made in the most recent years in four dimensions of the travel behavior genome. These dimensions are <i>Substantive Problems, Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks, Behavioral Measurement, and Behavioral Analysis. </i>Including the movement of goods as well as the movement of people, the book shows how traveler values, norms, attitudes, perceptions, emotions, feelings, and constraints lead to observed behavior&#x3b; how to design efficient infrastructure and services to meet tomorrow's needs for accessibility and mobility&#x3b; how to assess equity and distributional justice&#x3b; and how to assess and implement policies for improving sustainability and quality of life. </p> <p><i>Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome</i> examines the paradigm shift toward more dynamic, user-centric, demand-responsive transport services, including the "sharing economy," mobility as a service, automation, and robotics. This volume provides research directions to answer behavioral questions emerging from these upheavals.</p>
