The Clinton administration eventually coalesced around core principles featuring embrace of trade and globalization, democracy promotion, and the use of military force, the authors say. Opposition Republicans, meanwhile, splintered after the collapse of communism over how America's role in the world should be redefined. Goldgeier and Chollet say these are legacies that both presidential frontrunners are dealing with today as they seek to shore up supporters in their parties and prepare new administrations that would take office in January 2009. Their advice after chronicling rocky intra-party transitions in 1993 and 2001: start preparing now.
