Foreign Policy Analysis Section
This section is devoted to facilitating research and teaching on foreign policy. The Foreign Policy Analysis Section of ISA seeks to foster the study of foreign policy making and foreign policy behavior. It equally welcomes the study of both specific nations/regions and analyses with cross-national applicability. Relevant research is defined quite broadly in the section to include such topics as domestic sources of foreign policy, political psychology of national decision-makers, the development and maintenance of decision regimes through bureaucratic and organizational means, the use of events data, and the use of systematic comparative case studies.
Section members may participate in all Section events and activities, including:
- serving on committees
- participating in the annual business meeting
- voting on officers
- subscribing to section services (may include listservs, syllabi archives and newsletters)
- helping to organize section panels/papers at the annual convention
