U.S. Global Leadership Role and Domestic Polarization Summary

U.S. Global Leadership Role and Domestic Polarization: A Role Theory Approach by Gordon M. Friedrichs (Heidelberg University, Germany)

In this book Gordon Friedrichs offers a pioneering insight into the implications of domestic polarization for U.S. foreign policymaking and the exercise of America's international leadership role.

Through a mixed-method design and a rich dataset consisting of polarization data, congressional debates and letters, as well as co-sponsorship coalitions, Friedrichs applies role theory to analyze three polarization effects for U.S. leadership role-taking: a sorting effect, a partisan warfare, and an institutional corrosion effect. These effects are deployed in two comparative case studies: The Iran nuclear crisis as well as the negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Friedrichs effectively exposes the drivers of polarization and how this extreme divergence has translated into partisan warfare as well as institutional corrosion, affecting direction and performance of the U.S. global leadership role.

Through advancing role theory beyond other studies and developing the concept of diagonal contestation as a mechanism that allows us to locate polarization within a two-level role game between agent and structure, U.S. Global Leadership Role and Domestic Polarization is a rich resource for scholars of international relations, foreign policy analysis, American government and polarization.

U.S. Global Leadership Role and Domestic Polarization Reviews

This book is indispensable reading for understanding the dynamics of US foreign policy in an era of polarization within American society. It is also a major contribution to the latest scholarship applying role theory to the study of foreign policy and international relations.

Stephen Walker, Arizona State University

A great contribution to the role theory literature in that it connects domestic processes of role contestation and political polarization with the ability of the United States to perform its role as global leader.

Klaus Brummer, Catholic University of Eichstatt-Ingolstadt, Germany

Scholars have been studying the causes and consequences of party polarization within American political institutions for years. U.S. Global Leadership and Domestic Polarization takes those learned lessons and applies them to American leadership abroad. Friedrichs provides real insight through a rich and multi-method approach. The inevitable conclusion the reader reaches from this important study is that the consequences of polarization may be even greater on the world stage than they have been in the domestic realm.

Sean Theriault, University of Texas, Austin
