Comparative Foreign Policy Analysis Revisited

Moving beyond Western-centric perspectives, this book presents novel theoretical angles on Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA). Chapters demonstrate how comparative analysis can decentre scholarship traditionally dominated by US political contexts, enhancing explanatory power through contextual sensitivity. Examining how leadership dynamics, group decision-making, and bureaucratic politics may play out differently across diverse political settings, the authors provide a coherent and conceptually rigorous foundation for comparative FPA. Vital for scholars and students seeking to understand foreign policy beyond conventional paradigms, this book offers both theoretical innovation and empirically informed insights that reflect our increasingly multipolar world.
