@jordantama.bsky.social noting Chicago Council report that a "strong base of public support exists for a different foreign policy vision." The Carnegie Council looked at what that might envision in a series of focus groups between 2017 and 2020:

The American Political Environment Is Ripe for a New Foreign Policy Vision Fifty years of Chicago Council on Global Affairs polling reveals significant reservoirs of cross-party agreement and a strong base of public support for a more cooperative approach to world affairs.

In conjunction with major new @global-affairs.bsky.social report on public's foreign policy views over past 50 years, sharing here my commentary on where public stands now.

Key takeaway: Strong base of support exists for new approach to world that foregrounds cooperation.

How Congress Can Shape America’s Use of Economic Sanctions Congress can guide and constrain key aspects of U.S. foreign policy through careful legislating and vigorous oversight on sanctions.

Sanctions are likely to remain an attractive foreign policy tool for Congress because they tend to have bipartisan support and are relatively easy to pass.
@jordantama.bsky.social gives some recommendations for how Congress can make sanctions more effective.

With many Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill calling for new sanctions on Russia, sharing here my new @lawfaremedia.org piece on how Congress can best influence US foreign policy through sanctions legislation

Congress Can Check the President on Foreign Policy—Even Under Trump Some Republican lawmakers may be willing to join with Democrats in efforts to preserve core elements of internationalism.

Although Trump looks like an unstoppable force, Congress is still capable of constraining aspects of his foreign policy. I explain how in this new @carnegieendowment.org commentary

US Opinion Leaders Support Continued Aid to Ukraine While opinion leaders across party lines—as well as Democrats and Independents among the public—support continued assistance to Kyiv, everyday Republicans stand out in their opposition.

Unlike most Republican voters, foreign policy professionals across political spectrum also continue to support aid to Ukraine. Upshot: GOP is likely to remain split over Ukraine policy under Trump. 3/3 cc: @sisresearch.bsky.social @bridgingthegap.bsky.social

US Opinion Leaders Endorse Alliances and Security Guarantees Despite President-elect Donald Trump’s aversion to alliances, foreign policy professionals across the American political spectrum believe they greatly benefit the United States.

Democratic and Republican opinion leaders continue to believe alliances benefit US and support defending allies if they are attacked. It's striking that even after 8 years of Trump leading GOP, most GOP foreign policy professionals retain positive view of alliances. 2/

The 2010s were and outstanding time for public facing scholarship. But that probably depended on legacy social media platforms that, by default, served the public function of amplifying scholarship. What is the future for public-facing scholarship when those platforms don't do that? 1/
