Sandwiched between two giants, India and China, mindful of America too, Nepal has necessarily to do an intricate dance which must yet include local vision and aspirations in the creation of Nepali foreign policy. (Lib Times/DÜI)

The article tackles the problem of balance between Atlanticism and Europeanism in Greece's foreign policy. Through the prism of security challenges, it examines the evolution of Greece's strategic partnership with the USA and its deep engagement with the European integration process. The author comes to a conclusion that if the EU evolves into a strong political actor with its own foreign and security policy tools, it will potentially strengthen the European trend in Greece's foreign policy.

Asian-Americans and American Foreign Policy.
Myron WEINER
It is legitimate in the United States for naturalized citizens to seek to influence their adopted country's foreign policy on behalf of their country of origin. There are three reasons : (1) the American legal framework regarding constitutional rights ;
(2) the system of separation of powers which assigns Congress a role in foreign policy ; and (3) a widely shared ideology. There are historically well-established patterns of foreign policy involvement by Americans of European origin. This article shows how 4.5 million Americans of Asian extraction — Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Laotians, Kampucheans, Koreans, and Asian Indians — follow similar patterns of behavior. Three patterns are identified : (1) migrants press the U.S. to pursue policies beneficial to their home country ; (2) migrants are hostile to the regime of their country of origin, often for its human rights violations ; and
(3) migrants who were ethnic minorities at home support their ethnic kinfolk seeking greater autonomy or independence.

In February 2014, an era came to an end. For more than 20 years, Russia has gazed with growing scepticism upon the world order that came into being after the East-West conflict. In Ukraine, the West crossed a red line. Moscow no longer heeds the costs that may come with damaging its relations with the West. For Russia, it is now a matter of holding a rematch for the final round of the Cold War. Adapted from the source document.

In the past fifteen years Canada has emerged from the position of a somewhat obstreperous exponent of isolationism and Canadian nationalism to become a leading middle power. This rapid rise to international importance has brought in its train many significant developments in Canada. Few are more interesting than the process by which Canadian foreign policy is presently being made, for its examination throws some light on the substance of Canadian foreign policy and provides the student of comparative politics with an important example of the planning of foreign policy under a Cabinet form of government. It also shows some of the problems and possibilities of a rapidly developed governmental organization.

Over the past two decades, labor has given broad support to the foreign policy of the United States. Its special concern is the pursuit of an antitotalitarian foreign policy, the maintenance of a strong military establishment, the rapid de colonization of the remaining colonial areas, continued high levels of foreign economic aid, and a forceful bipartisan ex pression of United States objectives. For the most part, labor is not well equipped to originate new approaches in foreign policy but prefers to take a stand on policies developed by the national-government administration. Given the prevailing division of functions in the labor movement, foreign policy is chiefly in the hands of the AFL-CIO president and his imme diate staff. Postwar developments have led to the creation of special labor positions in government agencies involved in the conduct of foreign relations. These have too often been filled with unsuitable persons from the labor movement. On the whole, labor is a useful but not a senior partner in the making and administering of American foreign policy.
