 | Foreign Policy Motivation : A General Theory and a Case Study Foreign policy motivation is a complex mix reflecting the fears and aspirations of publics, interest groups, bureaucratic sets, and important individuals. International conflict cannot be resolved without resolving how foreign policy is motivated. This book presents a conceptual framework for identifying and weighing foreign policy motives that shape, direct, and alter foreign policy. Richard W. Cottam was professor of political science at the University of Pittsburgh. |
