Foreign Policy Change

Abstract

There has been a call to study foreign policy change for contributing to the development of the foreign policy analysis and comparative foreign policy. Rosenau (1976) argued studying foreign policy change would help to the formation of a theory that can address the questions of when, why and how states restructure their foreign policies. He suggested developing ‘change’ into an operational dependent variable which would be fruitful for the development of a foreign policy theory. So far a number of scholars have addressed to this call. With this panel, we aim to make further contribution to the development of foreign policy change by empirically testing the existing frameworks either by critically discussing the existing literature or by developing additional variables which can be empirically tested and systematically measured. The panel invites papers that would help to fill the conceptual gap and overlap in the literature. Thus, we invite papers on different cases in which countries redirected their foreign policy with a clear demonstration on the scope of change as well as theoretical papers which analyze the extent to which FPC can explain foreign policies of certain countries, its shortcomings and how to overcome these shortcomings.
