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.
