- Title
Bipartisanship and US foreign policy: cooperation in a polarized age.
- Authors
Payne, Andrew
- Abstract
In the article "Bipartisanship and US foreign policy: cooperation in a polarized age," the author, Jordan Tama, argues that while partisan polarization has increased in American politics, bipartisanship is not dead. Tama explores different forms of bipartisanship, including pro-presidential bipartisanship, anti-presidential bipartisanship, and cross-partisanship, and how they impact US foreign policy. Through empirical analysis of congressional votes and interviews with members of Congress and administration officials, Tama finds that bipartisanship is more common on foreign policy issues than domestic ones. However, while bipartisanship can provide opportunities for cooperation, it can also contribute to gridlock and hinder the implementation of prudent actions. The article concludes by questioning whether cooperation on specific issues is enough to address the global challenges the US faces and highlights the ongoing obstacle of polarization in shaping a coherent foreign policy.
