History, theory and practice are expertly woven into this comprehensive and impressive book, featuring both leading and emerging scholars in the field. * Professor Geoffrey Wiseman, Australian National University * This is one of the very few efforts that creates a truly useful comparative basis for foreign policy analysis, both in terms of applying alternative theoretical perspectives and a rich array of cases across important states. * Professor Thomas J. Volgy, Professor of Political Science, School of Government and Public Policy, University of Arizona * For the hard pressed student looking for a quality text dealing with a broad range of issues in the field of Foreign Policy Analysis there is none better than this tried and true - and now completely updated- volume. * Professor Michael Cox, Professor Emeritus of International Relations at the London School of Economics and Director LSE IDEAS * With its remarkable combination of cutting-edge theoretical analysis and wide-ranging case studies, this volume is an outstanding resource for students, teachers, and researchers alike.
