Why publish with Foreign Policy Analysis?
Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) is an official journal of the International Studies Association, focused on understanding foreign policy decisions, processes, actions, and outcomes. Foreign policy analysis, as a field of study, is characterized by its actor-specific focus. The underlying, often implicit argument is that the source of international politics and change in international politics is human beings, acting individually or in groups. Foreign Policy Analysis provides an open forum for research publication that enhances the communication of concepts and ideas across theoretical, methodological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries.
