Divided
Power
The Presidency, Congress, and the Formation of American
Foreign Policy
Edited
by Donald R. Kelley
Snapshots
of the complex reality of the relationship between the executive
and legislative branches in the formation of foreign policy
Divided
Power is a collection of eight original essays written
for the Fulbright Institute of International Relations that
focuses on timely yet unanswerable questions about the relationship
between the executive and legislative branches in the formation
of American foreign policy.
In trying to
answer questions about what the nation’s foreign policy
is, and who has the upper hand in making it, these essays
examine the struggle between the constant of the division
of powers mandated by the Constitution (ambiguous though it
may be) and the ever-changing political realities and conventional
wisdoms of the day. Within that context, the authors also
examine the society and culture in which those realities and
wisdoms are nested.
The goal of these
essays is to offer a snapshot in time of the interaction of
the executive and legislative branches in the shaping of our
foreign policy, framed and informed by the intellectual and
political realities that characterize the post–Cold
War, post–September 11 world.
