Abstract

An End to Bipartisanship
Crabb Jr., Cecil V. | February 21, 1959 issue

add to cart   close window

If uncritical attachment to the bipartisan principle is not the only factor responsible for the stagnation evident in American foreign policy over the recent past, it has assuredly been a major factor. Advocates of bipartisanship can point to instance after instance in the history of the United States, when internal dissension seriously interfered with the successful formulation and execution of foreign policy. Advocates of bipartisanship argue that both opportunities for producing disunity and the urgency of achieving unity toward foreign policy issues are unsurpassed. The overriding goal, therefore, as Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg once phrased is to "strive for an unpartisan American foreign policy."
