This book  by the former Legal Counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee  is the first comprehensive analysis of foreign policy and constitutionalism to appear in over fifteen years. In the interval since the last major work on this theme was published  the War Powers Resolution has ignited a heated controversy  several major treaties have aroused passionate disagreement over the Senates role  intelligence abuses have been revealed and remedial legislation debated  and the Iran-Contra affair has highlighted anew the extent of disagreement over first principles. Exploring the implications of these and earlier foreign policy disputes  Michael Glennon maintains that the objectives of diplomacy cannot be successfully pursued by discarding constitutional interests. Glennon probes in detail the important foreign-policy responsibilities given to Congress by the Constitution and the duty given to the courts of resolving disputes between Congress and the President concerning the power to make foreign policy. He reviews the scope of the prime tools of diplomacy  the war power and the treaty power  and examines the concept of national security. Throughout the work he considers the intricate weave of two legal systems: American constitutional principles and the international law norms that are part of the U.S. domestic legal system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646930903093,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691023050","price":25.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691023052.jpg?v=1781681946","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/constitutional-diplomacy-9780691023052","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
