"A Creative Tension" is a fresh look at the foreign policy roles
of Congress and the president by one of the most astute
congressional practitioners of foreign policy of recent decades,
former U.S. representative and chairman of the House International
Relations Committee Lee H. Hamilton. With an insider's perspective
based on thirty-four years in Congress, Hamilton elucidates current
domestic and international pressures influencing U.S. foreign
policy, strengths and weaknesses in the foreign policy process, and
ways to improve the performance of the president and Congress. "A
Creative Tension" argues persuasively and elegantly that better
consultation between the executive and legislative branches is the
most effective way to strengthen American foreign policy.
"A Creative Tension" is the most extensive analysis of the
congressional and presidential roles in foreign policy by a former
member of Congress. Hamilton explores the topic in an original,
stimulating, and accessible manner by deftly mixing incisive
commentary with illuminating personal reflections. The book
includes timely and important recommendations for improving the
ability of Congress and the president to develop a foreign policy
that meets the challenges and opportunities of a post-September 11
world. It should be of interest to foreign policy makers, scholars
and students of American politics, and the general public.Wilson
