This report discusses the lack of foreign policy coordination and cooperation between the two major political parties in the US Congress. The author argues that a deliberative bipartisan process increases the odds that foreign policy will be perceived as American policy, rather than Democratic or Republican policy. This also increases the likelihood that policy will remain consistent as administrations change hands, and ensures better policy, as criticisms from both sides are considered and addressed. The report concludes with a set of recommendations for Congress, the executive branch, as well as state legislatures and courts.
