Von der hinteren Coverseite

•       Do democracies adopt more peaceful foreign policies than authoritarian states?
•       What is the impact of globalization upon state foreign policy?
•       Do interest groups like the Israeli lobby influence US foreign policy, and if so, how?

The second edition of this important text gives you the set of theoretical tools to make sense of these questions and more. Genuinely global in scope and drawing on a wide range of examples, this accessible book provides an evaluation of the key elements of analyzing foreign policy. In so doing, it empowers you to use theories to explain, predict and evaluate the factors underlying states and other actors as they devise and implement foreign policy.

Throughout the text FPA and IR theory is integrated with methodologies to illuminate foreign policy practice and illustrate how to undertake research in this area. A wide range of factors are used to explain what states and other collective actors want, how they make decisions, and key determinants of state security, diplomatic, and economic foreign policies.

Key features

• Moves beyond the more narrow decision-making framing of FPA
• Includes a uniquely wide range of theoretical perspectives: from structural realism to cognitive psychological theories, from constructivism to negotiation strategies
• Applies the latest research to shed light on diplomatic decisions behind contemporary case studies

This book is essential for students of foreign policy at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
