Short description:
Although Democrats and Republicans in Washington appear to live in different realities today, they often cooperate when they turn their attention overseas. In Bipartisanship and US Foreign Policy, Jordan Tama examines the surprising persistence of foreign policy cooperation between Democrats and Republicans, even as partisan polarization in American politics reaches new heights. Drawing on new data on congressional voting, in-depth case studies of major recent foreign policy debates, and interviews of more than 100 foreign policy practitioners, the book shows that it remains possible for members of the two parties to band together to shape the US role in the world.
MoreLong description:
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.
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.
