    Ante el debate acerca del tipo de liderazgo de Joseph Biden, este trabajo sostiene que la división entre liderazgo transformacional y transaccional, y las correspondientes comparaciones presidenciales, remiten principalmente a la política doméstica. Así, el estudio se enmarca en el enfoque en las relaciones internacionales acerca del liderazgo. Se desarrollan dos líneas de análisis. Primero, se establecerán aproximaciones entre el liderazgo de Lyndon Johnson y Joe Biden principalmente en tres aspectos: experiencia previa, contextos doméstico e internacional en los que asumen, y construcción de liderazgo. Luego, se enfocará en el liderazgo de la presidencia de Joe Biden en los niveles doméstico e internacional en tres asuntos: Build Back Better, la gestión de la pandemia y la estrategia America is back.

    In light of the debate on Joseph Biden’s type of leadership, this article posits that the division between transformational and transactional leadership, and the comparisons among presidencies, mainly focuses on domestic policy. Thus, the theoretical framework for this work is rests on International Relations’ studies on political leadership. The analysis proposed here is twofold. First, a comparison between Lyndon Baines Johnson and Joseph Biden Jr.’s leaderships will be introduced on three axes: previous experience, domestic and international contexts at the time of ascension to power, and leadership building. Second, focus will shift towards Biden’s leadership both at domestic and international levels, regarding three issues: Build Back Better, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the America is back strategy.
