Managing the Balance: Executive-Legislative Roles in Foreign Policy.

Abstract

The fragmentation of the foreign policy process among the executive and legislative branches has been derived over the past 200 years with the executive branch playing the dominant role. Since WW II the military has held increasing influence in foreign policy matters. Recently Congress has expressed concern and interest in their role in foreign policy formulation and several proposals have been made to reorganize government to improve foreign policy formulation. The reorganization would require functional realignment cutting across present organizations but would give the Federal Government increased effectiveness in the formulation of foreign policy.
