'I highly recommend this second edition to students and scholars of foreign policy. Foreign Policy: New Approaches does an exceptional job at blending current research and wide-ranging, globe-spanning contemporary examples. The authors introduce the state-of-the-art and the ‘big questions’ in foreign policy research in a very accessible and engaging way. The approaches covered in Foreign Policy: New Approaches include the traditional ones that are indispensable for students to know and newer areas such as the role of media, globalisation, and foreign policy change. This is an excellent up-to-date edition that is an ideal introduction to the subfield of Foreign Policy Analysis.'– Juliet Kaarbo, Professor of Foreign Policy, University of Edinburgh, UK‘This revised edition is not just an excellent introduction to Foreign Policy Analysis; the authors’ critical engagement with the subject should help to carry its research agenda forward.’ – Christopher Hill, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, University of Cambridge, UK
