Résumé anglais The Role of the American Congress in the Foreign Policy Decision Making Process: The Dayton Agreements (1995) M any recent studies insist that Congress negatively obstructs foreign policymaking, particularly in international negotiations. Nevertheless, it seems that the American legislative body can weigh in positively and have a constructive influence on the final result of negotiations, namely the text (s) of treaties and/or negotiated agreements. Analyzing Congress' role illuminates the sociology of foreign policy decision making proposed here. This analysis shows in particular the value of presidential expertise in dealing with parliamentarians, the deep seeded presence of lobbying in the American political system, and the informal political world's importance that must be considered in any sociology of decisionmaking in the United States. The study of these interactions between formal and informal frameworks shows the effectiveness of transinstitutional coalitions in the American foreign policy decisionmaking process. ■
