Dr. Jeff Peake's research interests focus on the Presidency and Congress, and he has written on presidential leadership for the media and the public, presidential-congressional relations, agenda-setting, and the domestic politics of international agreements. Peake’s third and most recent book, Dysfunctional Diplomacy, explores the domestic politics of treaties and executive agreements during the era of polarized politics. In this presentation, Dr. Peake will place the decline of the treaty power in historical context, discuss how domestic politics explains the decline of the treaty power, the adverse impact this decline has on US foreign relations, and why executive agreements of various sorts are not full substitutes for treaties on the international stage.
