Foreign Policy Association D.C. - Foreign Policy in the Coming Campaign

Abstract: This paper interrogates certain aspects of Eritrean foreign policy making processes since independence. It analyses Eritrea's actions in the region, ranging from constructive engagement to the country's various conflicts with all its regional neighbours, including the 1998-2000 war with Ethiopia, and Eritrea's wider global attempts at diplomatic and foreign policy engagement. The paper argues that while Eritrea's assertive and often rather un-diplomatic foreign policy overtures are partly to blame for the country's negative image as an international actor, any attempt at developing an independent foreign policy by Eritrea needs at the same time be understood within the wider context of the Horn of Africa and the Ethiopian ambition to act as and maintain the status as regional hegemon. Thus, Eritrean foreign policy objectives were always bound to run into problems once they diverged from Ethiopia's own interests. In addition, Ethiopia became an increasingly important actor in the global war on terror and its manifestations in the Horn of Africa, thus its interpretation of and intransigence over relations with Eritrea became the dominant representation of Eritrea as an inherently belligerent state. Such a reading ignores that ultimately Eritrea's foreign policy engagement asserts the right of every nation to defend its own interests in light of international law and global treaties, regardless of global power dynamics.

Beginning with the premise that Congress has reasserted its role in U.S. foreign policy, the authors of this book describe, analyze, and evaluate how Congress is exercising its formal and informal powers and responsibilities. Five policy studies examine congressional action in major policy areas, placing Congress's behavior in the institutional and political contexts necessary to an understanding and evaluation of the congressional role; in combination, the studies provide an insightful look at some major developments in recent U.S. foreign policy.

With the country's energy needs having increased rapidly due to the unprecedented economic growth, it's apparent that the energy security concerns have become important in influencing the thinking, formation and implementation of China's foreign policy. While this perceived energy insecurity has become an increasingly influencing factor in China's international behavior, it cannot be argued that the country's energy needs is the most important dimension in Beijing's foreign policy calculations. By employing every available tool at its disposal at the political level and by mobilizing the country's economic might and capacity at the financial and industrial levels, China pursues not only the establishment and advance of its political and economic ties with the resources-rich developing countries for energy security reasons, but also a growing presence in such countries. These movements should be seen in a multi-dimensional context, where the country's worldwide-expanding economic and political interests compete and interact with domestic political and social adjustments and balances.
