Adapting Foreign Policy Analysis
摘要
This chapter explains the field of Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA), giving context to the choice of FPA models in The Road to War. The chapter explains the development of the field of FPA in “waves”, charting the differences between the first, second, and third waves of FPA. From this explanation, the chapter outlines the Groupthink, Leadership style, and Analogical reasoning models used in this book. These explanations give some insight into the development of the models, how they are operationalised in this research, and how they fit together into a comprehensive framework.
