Foreign Policy, Domestic Politics and International Relations: The Case of Italy
October 1, 2015
Elisabetta Brighi’s book Foreign Policy, Domestic Politics and International Relations: The Case of Italy, basically aspires to explain the question of how foreign policy interacts with domestic politics and international relations. Brighi depicts a theoretical framework to be applied to the field of Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA), namely, the “strategic-relational” approach based on critical realism at a dialectical level. Accordingly, the main assumption is that foreign policy is “reconceptualized” as a “product of dialectic interplay between actor and context, and discourses” as clearly illustrated in an empirical analysis of Italian foreign policy.
