About Foreign Policy
- A country’s foreign policy, consists of self-interest strategies chosen by the state to safeguard its national interests and to achieve goals within its international relations plan. The approaches are strategically employed to interact with other countries.
- The study of such strategies is called foreign policy analysis. In recent times, due to the deepening level of globalization and transnational activities, the states will also have to interact with non-state actors. The aforementioned interaction is evaluated and monitored in attempts to maximize benefits of multilateral international cooperation. Since the national interests are paramount, foreign policies are designed by the government through high-level decision making processes. National interests accomplishment can occur as a result of peaceful cooperation with other nations, or through exploitation.
- Usually, creating foreign policy is the job of the head of government and the minister of foreign affairs.
- Speaking engagements regarding Foreign Policy are widely used to inform organizations, institutions, and educators on how to inform their peers regarding these complex issues.
