The Growing Power of Congress

By Abshire

In The Growing Power of Congress, six expert analysts of American Government discuss the role of Congress in shaping American foreign policy -- a role that increased in both power and complexity during the 1970s. The essays scrutinize the changing balance between the executive and legislative branches in determining foreign policy, especially in the ability to take actions which may lead to war. Presidential and congressional leadership are explored in depth.
