Reviews for Sailing the Water´s Edge: The Domestic Politics of American Foreign Policy
Winners of the 2016 Gladys M. Kammerer Award, American Political Science Association "Milner and Tingley provide a thorough examination of how presidential power in foreign policy is contingent on relations with domestic actors (Congress, interest groups, and the public). Their book is a welcome addition to the literature as the dominant assumption is that presidents are impervious to domestic pressure."
