Foreign Policy Analysis: New approaches - Paperback

by Chris Alden (Author), Amnon Aran (Author), Ana Cristina Alves (Author)

Building on the success of the first edition, this revised volume re-invigorates the conversation between foreign policy analysis and international relations. It opens up the discussion, situating existing debates in foreign policy in relation to contemporary concerns in international relations, and provides a concise and accessible account of key areas in foreign policy analysis that are often ignored. Focusing on how foreign policy decision making affects the conduct of states in the international system, and analysing the relationship between policy, agency and actors, the volume examines: foreign policy and bureaucracies; domestic sources of foreign policy; foreign policy and the state; foreign policy and globalization; and foreign policy and change.
