Studying Foreign Policy Comparatively

Reviews / Votes

Studying Foreign Policy Comparatively is the foreign policy textbook I have been looking for. It engages the literature in the field, it bridges the divide between international relations and comparative politics, it takes a comparative rather than an American politics-centric approach to foreign policy analysis, and it provides an actual framework of examples to help students to analyze foreign policy on their own. -- Matthew Morehouse, Adjunct Professor, Misericordia University This is the best textbook I have found for a class on comparative foreign policy. It excellently integrates theory and case studies following the classis tridimensional factor (level of analysis) organization: individual, domestic, and international factors. -- Clemente Quinones, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Georgia Gwinnett College Neack's text represents an authoritative treatment of theories of foreign policy in comparative perspective. It captures cutting-edge theory and presents case studies and illustrations in a very engaging way. It represents a terrific blend of authority and accessibility on the state of the field-and of our complex world today. -- Jeffrey Lantis, Professor of Political Science, The College of Wooster Studying Foreign Policy Comparatively is the perfect blend of theory and cases. Ideal for advanced undergraduates and entry-level graduate students, this text provides a sophisticated yet simple overview of the major theoretical areas of the subfield of foreign policy analysis with detailed examples of real-world, international cases. -- Amy Skonieczny, Associate Professor, San Francisco State University
