Studying Foreign Policy Comparatively is the foreign policy textbook I have been looking for. It engages the literature in the field, it bridges the divide between international relations and comparative politics, it takes a comparative rather than an American politics–centric approach to foreign policy analysis, and it provides an actual framework of examples to help students to analyze foreign policy on their own.

This is the best textbook I have found for a class on comparative foreign policy. It excellently integrates theory and case studies following the classis tridimensional factor (level of analysis) organization: individual, domestic, and international factors.

Neack’s text represents an authoritative treatment of theories of foreign policy in comparative perspective. It captures cutting-edge theory and presents case studies and illustrations in a very engaging way. It represents a terrific blend of authority and accessibility on the state of the field—and of our complex world today.

Jeffrey Lantis, Professor of Political Science, The College of Wooster

Studying Foreign Policy Comparatively is the perfect blend of theory and cases. Ideal for advanced undergraduates and entry-level graduate students, this text provides a sophisticated yet simple overview of the major theoretical areas of the subfield of foreign policy analysis with detailed examples of real-world, international cases.
