MARIETTA — A political science professor at Marietta College has co-written a book examining presidential rhetoric and the use of emergency powers.

Michael Morgan, the McCoy Professor of Political Science, collaborated on “Talking Tough in U.S. Foreign Policy” with Associate Professor Yu Ouyang with Purdue University Northwest where he is the associate department chair, English and world languages and history, philosophy and political science.

Released in late August, the book offers an in-depth analysis of how U.S. presidents have utilized national emergency declarations throughout history.

Morgan and Ouyang assess factors influencing presidential language and executive authority in foreign policy decisions. The research traces evolving patterns in White House crisis response and communications over time.

“We wanted to understand how national emergency declarations contribute to U.S. foreign policy, as well as how presidents frame these actions to interested audiences,” Morgan said.

The project was sparked by recent events like the Trump border wall controversy.

While crossing international and domestic politics, the book provides insights for scholars and students. General readers also will appreciate the approach to studying presidential rhetoric.

Morgan said co-authoring his first book was a beneficial learning experience. He hopes to publish additional collaborative works in the future.

“Talking Tough in U.S. Foreign Policy” is available on Amazon. Cost is $44.99, which includes free delivery, $13.50 to rent and $33.99 to buy the Kindle versions and free for Kindle Unlimited members.

The 114-page hardcover book was published by Palgrave MacMcMillan.
