Casey Burgat

Congress plays a central role in shaping U.S. foreign, national security, economic, and trade policy—but how does that influence actually take shape on Capitol Hill?

This seminar will offer a practical look at how congressional committees, leadership, and professional staff shape legislative outcomes. It will also examine how Congress exercises its budgetary, appropriations, and oversight authorities, and why these dynamics matter for U.S. alliances, including the U.S.-ROK relationship.
