Foreign Policy Analysis

This document discusses theories of foreign policy analysis including realism, liberalism, and constructivism. It provides an overview of the development of foreign policy analysis as a field dating back to the 1950s and 1960s. It examines key aspects and assumptions of realist theory for foreign policy including the role of power relations. It also discusses how liberalism can influence diplomatic relations between liberal countries by establishing peace and how constructivism views the world as socially constructed through interactions between actors.

Foreign Policy Analysis

1. Foreign Policy, Theories, Actors and Cases


Foreign policy analysis (FPA)-style work is a scholarship based on human decision-makers
who can act alone or in groups. FPA-style work in the field of international relations can best
be traced back to the late 1950s and early 1960s. It can be said that three paradigms have laid
the foundation for the FDA: Richard C. Snyder (HW) Brook and Burton Sappin; James N.
Rosenau (James N. Rosenau) "Pre-Theory and Foreign Policy Theory" (a book chapter
written in 1964 and published in Farrell in 1966) by Harold and Margaret Sprout (1956;
expanded and revised as an article in 1975) His 1965 book "Ecological Viewpoints of Human
Affairs, Especially Views on International Politics" expounded the hypothesis of the
relationship between people in the context of international politics.
In the method bequeathed to FPA by Snyder and his colleagues, its characteristics focus on
foreign policy decision-making (FPDM) rather than foreign policy results. "We insist on the
nation-state as the basic level of analysis, but we have given up on the state as a metaphysical
abstraction. By emphasizing decision-making as the central focus, we provide a way to
organize the determinants of actions around those officials who serve the political society.
Decision makers are considered to operate in a dual aspect, so obviously unrelated internal
and external factors become relevant in the actions of decision makers. To date, precise
methods related to family factors have not been fully developed (Snyder et al., 1954: 53). It is
best to think of decision-making as "organizational behavior", through which the basic
determinants will be the competence, communication and information flow of the participants
involved.
James Rosenau's pre-theory encourages scholars to systematically and scientifically tease
generalizations about the transnational application of nation-state behavior. "Determining
factors is not about tracking their effects. Understanding the processes that influence external
behavior does not explain how and why they work in some situations, not in others.
Recognizing that foreign policy is determined by both internal and external factors Yes, it is
not to understand how the two merge with each other, nor is it to point out the conditions for
one country to dominate another country...Foreign policy analysis lacks a testable and
comprehensive system. Foreign policy analysis is a general theory that is unnecessary (1966:
98-9)". What Rosenau is encouraging is the development of middle-level theory: middle-
level theory mediates between grand principles and the complexity of reality.
2. Realism and Foreign Policy
Realism is a school of thought based on three core assumptions about how the world works,
namely groupism, egoism, and power-centrism. These precepts represent a simple list of
realism for foreign policy analysis: to find where power lies in group interests, and the role of
power relations in reconciling conflicting interests. To avoid this situation, the realist theory
obviously has a completely different meaning to foreign policy. The key is to understand
these theories. The two main lessons for avoiding wrong or incorrect foreign policy analysis
are to understand the details of current foreign policy cases and pay close attention to the
scope conditions that may link them more broadly to key realist principles.
3. Liberalism and Foreign Policy
Liberalism is the belief in the importance of moral freedom, the right to treat others, and the
belief in treating others as moral subjects rather than merely as objects or means. The
challenge of liberalism is how to reconcile the three sets of freedom rights, one of which is
negative freedom. The first and most important effect of liberalism on the diplomatic
relations of liberal countries is the establishment of peace between them. At first he was
hesitant, confused and confused. Later, as the liberal regime gained a deeper domestic
foundation and richer international experience, it became clear and confident, and a zone of
peace was established between liberal countries. In addition, liberalism has another influence,
that is, reckless enterprising, complacency and isolationism.
4. Constructivism and Foreign Policy
Constructivists believe that the world around us is socially constructed. "Constructive" means
that the constructivist understands that the world is formed through the process of interaction
between the subject and the structure of the broader environment. Constructivism can
promote the analysis of foreign policy in many aspects, including bureaucracy, decision-
making, and the influence of the international community on the practice of foreign policy in
a country.
