In 1966, the Department of State attempted to strengthen the working level of its geographic bureaus through the establishment of "Country Directors" charged with government-wide leadership and coordination of policy matters concerning individual foreign countries.

Bacchus has explored the role of the Country Director, gaining insights into the foreign policy process, and show more noting obstacles that limit planned modification in large organizations.
