Críticas:

"The Price of American Foreign Policy uses a raft of informative case studies to shed light on an important but neglected aspect of U.S. foreign policy-budgeting for international affairs programs. Given widespread concern that U.S. spending on international affairs has fallen too sharply in recent years, The Price of American Foreign Policy is a timely contribution to the political debate." --James Lindsay, University of Iowa "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. Halperin

Reseña del editor:

In this first in-depth study of the process by which U.S. foreign policy is funded, William Bacchus draws on more than twenty years' experience in government to analyze the uneasy interplay between the executive and legislative branches as decisions about priorities and policies are made. 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.
