Integrating theory and case studies, this cogent text explores the processes and factors that shape foreign policy. In her thoroughly revised and updated edition, Laura Neack considers both old and new lessons, drawing on a rich array of real foreign policy choices and outcomes. In new cases, Neack explores decision making in the Eurozone crisis, increasing nationalism in Germany and Japan and what seems to be growing bellicosity among Canadians, Obama's grand strategy and the responses of rising powers Brazil and India, and the Egyptian youth revolution. Following a levels-of-analysis organization, the author considers all elements that influence foreign policy, including the role of leaders, bargaining, national image, political culture, public opinion, the media, and nonstate actors.

Product description
Review
A clear, balanced, and accessible text with no gratuitous jargon. A solid work.
Given my location in an English-speaking university in the Middle East, I work very hard to find texts in English that do not alienate my students. Neack does a great job of teaching the theory behind foreign policy analysis and gives numerous and diverse examples in the process.
Students find Neack's writing, with her use of many real-world examples, very interesting and accessible. The book's coverage of foreign policy scholarship is comprehensive and up-to-date and nicely introduces key theoretical ideas from foreign policy analysis.
The New Foreign Policy is a well-written, well-organized undergraduate text which integrates theory and examples well and is congruent with the way in which many professors want to introduce foreign policy to their students. I recommend it.
This dense yet apprehensible volume is made more accessible via the use of extensive cases to clarify the practical application of scholarly tools. Brief outlines of the content of each chapter's main subject areas significantly enhance the book's utility. Recommended.
Very readable and interesting. Various vignettes are used to good advantage to illustrate multiple perspectives on foreign policy analysis. A nice flagship publication.

Wonderful Book by Wonderful Professor
Reviewed in the United States on 22 January 2014Verified Purchase
This book is expertly written and very informative, but is clear and concise. Very up to date with pertinent examples and case studies. The author presents the material in a way that is very easy for anyone to understand, even those who are complete beginners to foreign policy analysis. The case studies also add to the ideas and models that are presented in the book and make it even more interesting and easy to understand. I recommend this book as a textbook and also for anyone interested in reading it just for pleasure and the knowledge it contains.

Very well written, with plenty of case studies and clever analysis. It gives a very comprehensive overview of the dynamics and key elements how foreign policy is defined. I regretted coming to its end.
