Jordan Tama, Polarization and US Foreign Policy

Polarization in the United States has been on the rise for several decades. In this context, few observers expect politics today to stop 鈥渁t the water鈥檚 edge,鈥 as the old clich茅 goes. But key questions about the relationship between polarization and US foreign policy remain to be fully answered. To what extent are American ideas about foreign policy now polarized along partisan lines? How is polarization changing the foreign policy behavior of the US Congress and President? And how is polarization altering the effectiveness of US foreign policy and influencing America鈥檚 role in the world?

A new聽volume edited by SIS Professor Jordan Tama and Gordon Friedrichs (Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law) explores these questions and more, bringing together existing knowledge as well as considering how the political dynamics and execution of US foreign policy may evolve in the years ahead.
