Economic liberalisation, democratisation, self-determination, regionalism, as well as the growing power of international organisations heavily influence the actions of states on the world stage. At last there is a modern comparative foreign policy text. In one accessible volume, fifteen scholars systematically explore the foreign policies of thirteen nations, covering both major and emerging players. foreign policymaking. Rather than consolidate countries into regional categories, Foreign Policy in Comparative Perspective treats each nation according to its individual history and contemporary dilemmas, allowing authors to address both shared concerns within a region and the unique struggles facing a particular country. Enabling comparative analysis, the books theoretical framework helps students discern patterns to better understand why a state acts as it does in foreign affairs. Each country chapter includes: an introduction by the volumes editors that points to similar developments in other countries, reinforcing comparison and analysis- a discussion of the linkages between external and internal factors and the implications for future foreign policy- a map to place countries within geographical context- a list of suggested readings for further information.
