So what does a divided United States government mean for foreign policy and global affairs? On the line with me to talk through some of the international implications of the US Midterm elections is Heather Hurlburt. She is the director of the New Models of Policy Change project at the New America Foundation and is a longtime player and analyst of US foreign policy.

We discuss the some of the new personalities that will lead key committees of the US Congress, like the new chairs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
