Bipartisanship and US Foreign Policy

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.
