Opis

""This book provides the first analytic framework for understanding the relation between Congress and the Executive branch on foreign affairs budgeting and offers examples which bring its points to light. It is must reading for anyone interested in understanding or influencing the course of American foreign policy.""-Morton H.

He begins by examining historical trends in foreign affairs budgeting, then shows how budget proposals are originated in the Executive branch and how they are affected by the complexities of congressional appropriation and authorization, and concludes with a look at ""myths"" about budgeting and suggestions for improving the system. Bacchus supports his analysis with case studies that link constitutional issues with the everyday governmental activity of matching limited resources to policy priorities. He reviews not only difficulties of coordination faced by the Executive branch but also Congress's bid for a greater voice in foreign policy, ranging from the Contra Aid hearings to the 1995 confrontations over
