"Bipartisanship and US Foreign Policy shows that, even as polarization in American politics reaches new heights, Democrats and Republicans in Washington continue to cooperate on many international issues. A close look at congressional voting patterns and major foreign policy debates of recent years - including over military intervention, the use of economic sanctions, international trade, and foreign policy spending - reveals that bipartisanship remains surprisingly common when elected officials turn their attention overseas. Yet bipartisanship today rarely involves unity in Washington. Instead, bipartisan coalitions often coexist with intra-party divisions or disagreement between Congress and the president, making it difficult for the United States to speak with one voice on the global stage. In short, the politics of contemporary U.S. foreign policy are more nuanced than either headlines highlighting extreme polarization or truisms suggesting that politics stops at the water's edge would suggest.

The strategic alliances of western nations with Asian countries, especially during conflict and war times, is considered the reason for the proliferation of nuclear weapons in Asia. The treaty on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons aiming to prevent the spread of atomic weapons failed to address the concerns of Asian countries, which resulted three nuclear power opposition in Asia alone. The failure of bilateral dialogues among the nuclear states prolonged the threat of major nuclear conflict in Asia seems not to be resolved with traditional western approaches of gunboat diplomacy and brinkmanship, especially in the case of India and Pakistan. This paper evaluates the current status of nuclear nonproliferation development in Asia while considering the historical conflict to comprehend realistic triggers points that could escalate the nuclear war, taking into accounts both the state actors and non-state actors influence in the development of national security threats, also laying down comprehensive approaches to tackle the current nuclear posture of the nuclear states simultaneously emphasizing plans on the avoidance of such trigger by evaluating current Asian political ...
