Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy: Activism, Assertiveness, and Acquiescence in a Polarized Era
In Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy, leading scholars examine the foreign policy activity, role and influence of the U.S. Congress in the current polarized and partisan political context. Challenging conventional views, the contributors reveal how members of Congress have been active and assertive, utilizing numerous different means to influence US foreign policy, sometimes supporting and sometimes opposing the President. The contributors provide…
Cosmopolitanism in Gal 3: 28 And the Divine Performative Speech-Act of Paul’s Gospel
Galatians 3:28 has often been compared and contrasted with ancient conceptions of “cosmopolitanism.” However, the present study takes a modern, etic approach to the definition of term, based on the longitudinal investigation of historical trends by a Cambridge working group. Seen from that vantage point, Paul’s declaration in Gal 3:28 can be described in terms of the “political cosmopolitanism” that is characteristic of empire-builders in the Anc…
The Speech-Acts of a Royal Pretender: Jesus’ Performative Utterances in Mark’s Gospel
Performative speech-acts were used by successive Seleucid pretenders and kings to create the appearance of power and authority out of weakness. As we have seen on the basis of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus’ used performative utterances in a similar way, and, for that reason, he was recognized as a royal pretender by both sympathizers and critics alike. From the perspective of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus set about to create the kingdom of God by royal pronounceme…
Paul’s Comparison of Himself with “the Abortion” (1 Cor 15: (8): A Missing Link between the Qumran Book of Giants and the Manichaean Book of Giants
When Paul states in 1 Cor 15:8, “Last of all, as to the abortion, he [Christ] appeared also to me” (ἔσχατον δὲ πάντων ὡσπερεὶ τῷ ἐκτρώματι ὤφθη κἀμοί), the article τῷ indicates that Paul is referring to the well-known “abortion”/giant, ʾOhyah, the one giant—uniquely in all of extant early Jewish literature—to whom God appeared in a dream-vision signifying theophanic judgment. This casts Paul in the role of a violent giant who, on trial before Chr…
Promoting democracy in Latin America: Foreign policy change and US democracy assistance, 1975–2010
Since the Cold War the USA has articulated and implemented explicit strategies of democracy promotion. One interesting target of such efforts is Latin America, in part because of the region’s geographic proximity to the USA and of the mixed record of US support for democracy there. This paper examines the impact of the end of the Cold War and the 9/11 episode on the nature, purposes, targets and consequences of US democracy assistance to Latin Am…
Bacchius Iudaeus: A Denarius Commemorating Pompey’s Victory over Judea
From Cold War to Arab Spring: Mapping the effects of paradigm shifts on the nature and dynamics of US democracy assistance to the Middle East and North Africa
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has articulated and implemented explicit strategies of democracy promotion by providing assistance to governments, political parties, and other non-governmental groups and organizations all over the world. One particularly challenging region has been the Middle East and North Africa, where democratic development and democracy aid opportunities have been limited and constrained by a variety of facto…
Countering adversaries and cultivating friends: Indirect rivalry factors and the allocation of US foreign aid
This analysis examines the link between ‘indirect rivalry factors’ – situations in which states are neighbors of direct US rivals, and/or states that share rivalries in common with the US – and allocations of foreign aid to shed light on the impact of strategic calculations on a key area of foreign policy behavior. Blending literatures on rivalry/conflict and foreign aid, the study is situated in the relevant prior work and a theory is developed …

Setting a Course: Congressional Foreign Policy Entrepreneurs In Post-World War II U.S. Foreign Policy
“Congressional foreign policy entrepreneurs” are those legislators who initiate their own foreign policy agendas. These individuals seek to frame policy discussions and mobilize public and interest group interest; to direct congressional agendas toward specific foreign policy issues; to structure and influence the formulation of foreign policies by the executive branch; to revise, refocus, or reformulate foreign policies; to generate alternative …

Paul and the Nations: The Old Testament and Jewish Background of Paul's Mission to the Nations with Special Reference to the Destination of Galatians
From reviews: »Scott offers us a new way to resolve an old problem. Instead of viewing Paul's geographical understanding of the world from a merely Greco-Roman perspective, he suggests that we begin with Paul's distinctly Jewish perspective of the world's geography: the table of the nations. Here Scott makes a compelling case and opens new vistas for understanding Paul as the apostle of the nations.« Frank J. Matera in The Catholic Biblical Quart…
Acting on the Hill: Congressional Assertiveness in U.S. Foreign Policy
A controversy has developed in recent years pitting those who see a resurgent Congress in U.S. foreign policy against those who argue that Congress remains largely acquiescent and uninvolved. This article addresses the disagreement, using a database of congressional foreign policy activity from 1946 to 1997 to weigh the competing claims. Our results show that congressional foreign policy activity has declined over the post-World War II era while …
