Class is often neglected as a factor influencing foreign policy. While recent research explains the foreign policy positions of states in terms of the preferences of a ruling regime's key constituencies of support, these accounts have not investigated how inter-state relations are influenced by specific class-based social forces. Influenced by liberal pluralism, they are agnostic about the role of class. By contrast, neo-Gramscian approaches conceptualise foreign policy as resulting from the configuration of class-based social forces, which form a 'state-society complex' in conjunction with institutions. The foreign policy stances of states have social foundations. Drawing on an expert survey by the Varieties of Democracy project, fixed-effects and first-difference regression analyses indicate that dependence on support from specific class-based groups is associated with distinct voting positions at the United Nations General Assembly. These findings are consistent with the argument that foreign policy has social foundations: class politics shapes world politics.

As of September 2011, the United States was involved, at different levels, in military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Somalia. America has more than 700 military installations overseas, and its military expenses account for almost half of the world's total . This substantial foreign engagement directly contradicts the United States' self-professed isolationism in foreign policy. The concept of US isolationism dates back to the colonial days. Evidence for example can be found in Thomas Paine's work, Common Sense (1776). It was then often reiterated by US leaders, such as Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams, not long after America had gained its independence. Nowadays, characterizations of US foreign policy as isolationist are even further complicated if one moves beyond the field of military intervention and considers the thick web of economic, political, and cultural international relations existing among states. But what about past American foreign policy? Is it sensible to describe it as isolationist? This article analyzes US foreign policy rhetoric to suggest an answer to this inquiry.

In the field of foreign policy, the rôles are not resulting from the distribution of powers operated by the constitution. They dépend largely upon internai political distribution of forces as well as upon the main actors' personalities, especially in periods of 'cohabitation' between a President and a Prime Minister of different political origins. The rather bad relations between the three main actors of foreign policy in 1986-1988 actually never went beyond problems of persons, of good manners and of protocol and it did not really affect France' s action abroad. Between 1988 and 1993 France experienced the political constellation most favourable to a monopoly of the executive on diplomacy and theoretically more favourable to the administration of Foreign Affairs, with a minister who had a very close relationship to the President of the Republic. Since 1993, the institutions are functioning smoothly as ail actors want to show that ail government authorities are tuned up to lead foreign policy.

This is an analysis of India-U.S. foreign policy during the formative period of their relations to be able to use the Nehru Papers, the seminal source for understanding the worldview of India's first Prime Minister and Minister of External Affairs, 1947-1964. Nehru established the twin pillars of Non-Alignment and Asianism as the foundation of India's foreign policy. Read alongside declassified U.S. documents and available declassified Chinese documents, they provide the foundational understanding of U.S.-India suspicion and India-China rivalry.

The arbitrary arrest, detention, or sentencing of foreign nationals by a state to exercise leverage over a foreign government is an emerging but increasingly serious issue that requires international attention. Also known as "hostage diplomacy," arbitrary detention used for diplomatic leverage exposes all persons who travel, work, and live abroad to risk and undermines the basic principles of international relations, including mutual trust and peaceful settlement of disputes between states. It also contravenes international law, threatens state sovereignty, and destabilizes the rules-based international order.

This paper deals with the liberal-radical government in the Kingdom of Serbia from 1887. This was the first coalition government in the history of the modern-day Serbian state, which consisted of liberals and radicals. In order to come to power, the Radicals agreed to fewer current sectors, while the ministries of foreign and internal affairs joined the liberals. The most important points of the government program, which reflected a mutual compromise, concerned the improvement of relations with Russia in foreign and changes in the Constitution in internal politics

In the southern Russian coal and steel region between 1874 and 1900, labor policy was outlined by the Russian managers of predominantly foreign firms through the Association of Southern Coal and Steel Producers. This policy was shaped by chronic labor shortage, by the strained relations between industry and local government, and by managers' sensitivity to their position as spokesmen for foreign interests. The posture southern managers developed was that of welfare capitalism. Considerable expenditure on wages and welfare, however, did not establish labor peace.
