Reviews

"Polarization has certainly undermined partisan comity but Jordan Tama's careful and illuminating research demonstrates that Democrats and Republicans in Congress still vote together on foreign policy issues surprisingly often. Tama's explanation for the persistence of bipartisanship is a major contribution to research on the politics of foreign policy."" Benjamin O. Fordham, Professor, Department of Political Science, Binghamton University Despite unprecedented levels of partisan polarization, Jordan Tama argues bipartisanship remains surprisingly common in foreign affairs. However, not all bipartisanship involves legislators from both sides of the aisle backing presidential policies. Rather, Tama critically shows how cross-partisan and bipartisan coalitions frequently push back against the president with considerable effect."" Douglas L. Kriner, Clinton Rossiter Professor in American Institutions, Department of Government, Cornell University Working across party lines is essential to protect national security and advance democracy around the world. Jordan Tama lays out the hurdles and pathways for cooperation, success, and good outcomes in a carefully examined approach to policymaking that is an essential read for effective legislating and diplomacy."" Russ Feingold, Former U.S. Senator from Wisconsin and Former Member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees Most studies of Congress and foreign policy give a gloomy prognosis for our polarized era. This book offers hope. Tama shows that bipartisanship on foreign policy is alive and comes in more forms than previously recognized. An essential read on the politics of foreign policy."" Elizabeth N. Saunders, Georgetown University Bipartisanship in a Polarized Age is an important and timely book. It is carefully researched and builds strong theoretical and empirical arguments to show that bipartisanship in foreign policy is far more common than one would suspect. In a time of deep political divisions, this book is a powerful and unique testament to how bipartisanship can and does function in American foreign policy."" Jon C. W. Pevehouse, Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor of Political Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison"
