In this book Gordon Friedrichs offers a pioneering insight into the
implications of domestic polarization for U.S. foreign policymaking
and the exercise of America's international leadership role.
Through a mixed-method design and a rich dataset consisting of
polarization data, congressional debates and letters, as well as
co-sponsorship coalitions, Friedrichs applies role theory to
analyze three polarization effects for U.S. leadership role-taking:
a sorting effect, a partisan warfare, and an institutional
corrosion effect. These effects are deployed in two comparative
case studies: The Iran nuclear crisis as well as the negotiations
of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Friedrichs effectively
exposes the drivers of polarization and how this extreme divergence
has translated into partisan warfare as well as institutional
corrosion, affecting direction and performance of the U.S. global
leadership role. Through advancing role theory beyond other studies
and developing the concept of "diagonal contestation" as a
mechanism that allows us to locate polarization within a "two-level
role game" between agent and structure, U.S. Global Leadership Role
and Domestic Polarization is a rich resource for scholars of
international relations, foreign policy analysis, American
government and polarization.
