How Is Congress Involved in Foreign Policy?

How is Congress involved in foreign policy? That is a topic of a recent episode of the Understanding Congress Podcast. My guest was Jordan Tama, a Provost Associate Professor at American University’s School of International Service. He is the author or editor of five books on foreign policy. They are:

• Polarization and US Foreign Policy: When Politics Crosses the Water’s Edge, co-edited with Gordon M. Friedrichs (Palgrave Macmillan, Forthcoming)
• Bipartisanship and US Foreign Policy: Cooperation in a Polarized Age (Oxford University Press, 2024);
• Rivals for Power: Presidential-Congressional Relations, sixth edition, co-edited with James A. Thurber (Rowman and Littlefield, 2018);
• Terrorism and National Security Reform: How Commissions Can Drive Change During Crises (Cambridge University Press, 2011); and
• A Creative Tension: The Foreign Policy Roles of the President and Congress, co-authored with Lee H. Hamilton (Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2002).
