Bipartisanship and US Foreign Policy: Cooperation in a Polarized Age

Autor Jordan Tama
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 oct 2023
In an era of ever-increasing polarization in the US Congress, American foreign policy remains marked by frequent bipartisanship. In Bipartisanship and US Foreign Policy, Jordan Tama shows that, even as polarization in American politics reaches new heights, Democrats and Republicans in Washington continue to cooperate on important international issues. Looking closely at congressional voting patterns and recent debates over military action, economic sanctions, international trade, and foreign policy spending, Tama reveals that bipartisanship remains surprisingly common when US elected officials turn their attention overseas. Yet bipartisanship today rarely involves complete unity. Instead, bipartisan coalitions spanning members of both parties often coexist with intra-party divisions or disagreement between Congress and the president, making it difficult for the United States to speak with one voice on the global stage. Drawing on new data and interviews of more than 100 foreign policy practitioners, this book documents the persistence of bipartisanship on international issues and highlights key factors that facilitate or impede cooperation on foreign policy challenges.

Recenzii

Polarization has certainly undermined partisan comity but Jordan Tama's careful and illuminating research demonstrates that Democrats and Republicans in Congress still vote together on foreign policy issues surprisingly often. Tama's explanation for the persistence of bipartisanship is a major contribution to research on the politics of foreign policy.
Despite unprecedented levels of partisan polarization, Jordan Tama argues bipartisanship remains surprisingly common in foreign affairs. However, not all bipartisanship involves legislators from both sides of the aisle backing presidential policies. Rather, Tama critically shows how cross-partisan and bipartisan coalitions frequently push back against the president with considerable effect.
Working across party lines is essential to protect national security and advance democracy around the world. Jordan Tama lays out the hurdles and pathways for cooperation, success, and good outcomes in a carefully examined approach to policymaking that is an essential read for effective legislating and diplomacy.
Most studies of Congress and foreign policy give a gloomy prognosis for our polarized era. This book offers hope. Tama shows that bipartisanship on foreign policy is alive and comes in more forms than previously recognized. An essential read on the politics of foreign policy.
Bipartisanship in a Polarized Age is an important and timely book. It is carefully researched and builds strong theoretical and empirical arguments to show that bipartisanship in foreign policy is far more common than one would suspect. In a time of deep political divisions, this book is a powerful and unique testament to how bipartisanship can and does function in American foreign policy.
This is an important book that persuasively challenges conventional wisdom on the sources and scale of congressional dysfunction. It deserves to be read widely.
