"Advocacy Coalitions in Foreign Policy" published on by Oxford University Press.

PARADOXICALLY, IN A PERIOD WHEN SO MUCH WESTERN POLICY TOWARDS THE THIRD WORLD APPEARS TO BE FORMULATED ON A MODEL OF SIMPLE IDEOLOGICAL POLARITY, MOZAMBIQUE, ORIGINALLY A NEO-CONSERVATIVE BETE ROUGE OF THE DEEPEST HUE, HAS BEEN DEVELOPING AN INCREASINGLY BROAD AND PRAGMATIC NETWORK OF FOREIGN RELATIONS. DESPITE A CONTINUING DECLARATORY COMMITMENT TO THE SOVIET BLOC IN THE MAIN ISSUE AREAS OF EAST- WEST CONFRONTATION, PRESIDENT SAMORA MACHEL AND HIS FOREIGN MINISTER, JOAQUIM CHISSANO, HAVE SHOWN AN EVIDENT INTEREST IN MOVING THE AVOWEDLY MARXIST-LENINIST FRELIMO1 GOVERNMENT TOWARDS CLOSER POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS WITH THE WEST. THIS HAS EXTENDED EVEN TO THE MILITARY SPHERE WITH PORTUGAL, A NATO MEMBER, UNDERTAKING WIDE COMMITMENTS IN THE TRAINING AND EQUIPPING OF THE MOZAMBICAN ARMY. THE TOUR OF WEST EUROPEAN CAPITALS UNDERTAKEN BY MACHEL, CHISSANO AND OTHER POLITBURO MEMBERS IN OCTOBER 1983, HAS MOST RECENTLY CONFIRMED THIS REORIENTATION.

Address before the Royal institute of international affairs, London, July 9, 1946.

Discusses the processes, institutions, actors and calculations involved in foreign policy making in Australia. Looks at the role of the government departments and intelligence organisations that support the government's policy-making, and the thinking of the people who make it, in more detail than ever before. It draws on an extensive survey of how Australian foreign affairs officials think about the world. This fully revised and updated edition includes four new chapters on Australia's security, prosperity, values and its place in the world. It includes two new case studies covering the negotiation of the US-Australia free trade agreement and Australia's regional mission to the Solomon Islands

Sundelius, B. Interdependence and Foreign Policy. Cooperation and Conflict, XV, 1980, 187-208. This survey briefly dissects the concept of interdependence, indicating its many interpreta tions and dimensions. Following a broad overview of the structure and process of the international politics of interdependence, as indicated in the literature covered, some implications for national foreign policy-making are pointed to. The impact of interdepen dence on state objectives and instruments, the relation between domestic and foreign policy, prevalent international processes and actors, and national processes and strategies are discussed, in particular with a view to the implications for smaller European nations. Finally, some important limitations of the discussed features are emphasized. The conclu sion calls for some empirical research to test the many interesting assertions contained in the interdependence literature.
