Abstract:
In Foreign Policy by Congress Thomas M. Franck and Edward Weisband offer a well-researched compilation and analysis of very recent information on the relations between the Executive and Congress in the foreign policy area. By actually examining—in much more than anecdotal fashion—the events of the last decade that relate to this topic, the authors have gone well beyond the existing, traditional analyses of the interplay of Congress and the Executive in the foreign policy sphere, a dradition of lawyers’ riefs that are built from constitutional debates if argued for Congress and from historical precedents and the logic of United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp. if argued for the Executive.
