Congress, the President, and the End of the Cold War
Many analysts believe that the end of the cold war will spark greater conflict between Congress and the president on foreign issues, thus further undermining the nation's political mythology that politics stops at the water's edge. The authors test that hypothesis using House of Representatives' support of presidents' foreign policy bids on prerogative power and defense budgeting issues during the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton Congresses (1983-1996).…
Politics and Bipartisanship at the Water's Edge
This research extends an earlier study of the bipartisan and political perspectives for evaluating congressional-executive relations on foreign policy to cover the Bush administration and the first Clinton term. As expected, the end of the Cold War accelerated the decline of bipartisanship and accentuated the continuing relevance of the political perspective. The level of bipartisan accord was relatively low during both administrations, particula…
What Americans really think about foreign policy
Faces of Internationalism in a Transitional Environment
In the post-Vietnam Cold War environment, two dimensions—cooperative internationalism and militant internationalism—came to characterize the foreign policy beliefs of American leaders and the mass public. Although grounded in Cold War concepts and challenges, evidence from opinion polls in the transitional period to a post-Cold War world suggests that the cooperative and militant faces of internationalism persist. Furthermore, because they parall…

Bipartisanship, Partisanship, and Ideology in Congressional-Executive Foreign Policy Relations, 1947-1988
This paper examines two perspectives on the nature of congressional-executive relations in the making of American foreign policy: the bipartisan perspective, which says that politics stops at the water's edge, and the political perspective, which sees foreign policy as subject to the same partisan and ideological disputes that characterize domestic policy-making. The results demonstrate that the bipartisan perspective applies best to the Cold War…
The Cold War Consensus
A bipartisan consensus about the means and ends of American foreign policy is generally thought to have been part of the American political environment during the Cold War era. This consensus is also commonly thought to have been a casualty of the Vietnam War, when disagreements arose about the threat of communism, the use of American troops abroad, and relations with the Soviet Union. This article uses public opinion data from the decades follow…
Elites and Masses
The post-Vietnam breakdown of the presumed foreign policy consensus of the Cold War years has become a touchstone of American foreign policy analyses during the past decade. Diachronic analysis of the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations' quadrennial public opinion surveys demonstrates the persistence of a belief system among the mass public defined by two distinct attitude dimensions, cooperative and militant internationalism. Elite attitudes af…
On the Foreign Policy Beliefs of the American People
A reconceptualization of Holsti and Rosenau's three-headed eagle is proposed which locates the categories of Americans' foreign policy beliefs they posit along two empirically derived attitude dimensions described as cooperative and militant internationalism. The reconceptualization incorporates differences between unilateralist and multilateralist preferences, argued by Holsti and Rosenau to presage a fourth head on the eagle. Drawing on the qua…
Elites and Masses
Elites and masses are found to have similar foreign policy belief systems defined by two distinct attitude dimensions, cooperative and militant internationalism. However, elites are located predominantly in the internationalist and accommodationist quadrants of the opinion typology defined by the bidimensional attitude structure. The mass, on the other hand, is more evenly distributed among the four categories, with a higher proportion in the har…

A partial comparison of events, transaction, and roll‐call data for a developed‐developing nation subsystem
This paper examines the “information overlap” between WEIS events data and other measures of foreign policy behavior, including foreign aid allocations, diplomatic exchanges, trade, and UN voting agreements. The analysis suggests that events and non‐events variables tap different facets of states’ external conduct, but it also raises questions about the wisdom of relying on a single source of data to describe internation links
Incrementalism and change in the domestic distribution of U.S. foreign policy expenditures
Incrementalism is a term frequently used to describe budgetary processes, with high inter‐annual correlations between expenditures in time t and t+1 interpreted as the empirical manifestation of incrementalism. However, focusing on inter‐annual correlations may well obscure meaningful variations in the amount of the total budgetary pie received by various geographical units. A preferable alternative from a substantive viewpoint would be to focus …

The Question of Imperialism
Liberal America and the Third World
In Europe after World War II, U.S. economic aid helped to ensure economic revival, political stability, and democracy. In the Third World, however, aid has been associated with very different tendencies: uneven political development, violence, political instability, and authoritarian rule in most countries.Despite these differing patterns of political change in Europe and the Third World, however, American conceptions of political development hav…

Foreign Aid and United Nations Votes
This study examines in a comparative foreign policy framework the relationship between bilateral foreign aid allocations and pairwise voting agreements between developed and developing nations in the UN General Assembly. The foreign aid donors considered include the United States, the Soviet "bloc," and the twelve other UN members of the OECD's Development Assistance Committee. Two different measures of aid allocations in two three-year periods (…
National Attributes Associated with Dimensions of Support for the United Nations
Several writers have asked whether there exist among states varying predispositions to support the United Nations. Hayward Alker has answered this question with reference to the voting patterns of member nations in support of increased UN activities particularly in the peacekeeping field. More recently Robert Keohane has ranked states by using a support measure based on delegation size and has suggested that size of national delegations to the Un…
