New Tug-of-War: Congress, the Executive Branch, and National Security

Since the birth of the Republic, U.S. foreign policy has been an uneasy joint venture between the executive branch and Congress. Now that the end of the Cold War has transformed world affairs and the 1994 elections have turned Capitol Hill upside down, how is Congress's role changing? As the United States faces an array of global challenges--from ethnic conflict to proliferation to trade--is congressional assertiveness in foreign policy a post-Vietnam relic or a post-Cold War inevitability? Is Congress pushing the United States toward isolationism or simply toward more selective internationalism?Rosner, Jeremy D. is the author of 'New Tug-of-War: Congress, the Executive Branch, and National Security' with ISBN 9780870030628 and ISBN 0870030620.
