Foreign policy begins at home, and in Europe and the United States the domestic drivers of foreign policy are shifting in important ways. The election of Donald Trump as U.S. president, the decision of British voters to leave the European Union, and popular pressures on governments of all stripes and colors to deal with the domestic consequences of global flows of people, money and terror all highlight the need for greater understanding of such domestic currents and their respective influence on U.S. and European foreign policies. In this volume, European and American scholars take a closer look at the domestic determinants of foreign policy in the European Union and the United States, with a view to the implications for transatlantic relations. They examine domestic political currents, demographic trends, changing economic prospects, and domestic institutional and personal factors influencing foreign policy on each side of the Atlantic. ; -- Introduction, Daniel S.

Um aspecto novo do modelo de desenvolvimento do Brasil na primeira década do século XXI e sua inserção na economia internacional, tem sido a internacionalização do capital através da expansão de um conjunto de empresas brasileiras. Neste sentido, este artigo propõe-se analisar o impacto que teve este fenômeno à política externa de Brasil sob o governo do Presidente Lula (2003-2010) e o surgimento do que identificamos como um novo determinante para sua concepção e execução. A hipótese de trabalho é que o processo de internacionalização da capital do Brasil transforma-se em um novo objetivo da política externa do governo Lula. Desde uma qualitativa metodologia que combina fontes de informações primárias e secundárias, o artigo tenta contribuir para a análise da inserção internacional de uma potência emergente como o Brasil em plena mutação da ordem internacional. The domestic determinants of foreign policy designs: the internationalization of Brazilian capital as a new target of Brazil's foreign policyAbstract: A new aspect of the development model of Brazil in the first decade of the 21st century, and is its insertion into the international economy, has been the internationalization of capital through the expansion of a set of Brazilian corporations. In this sense, this article proposes to analyze the impact that had this phenomenon of Brazil foreign policy under the Government of President Lula (2003-2010) and the emergence what we have identified as a new determinant for its design and execution. This working hypothesis is that the process of internationalization of Brazilian capital was transformed into a new objective of the foreign policy of the Lula administration. From a qualitative methodology and combine primary and secondary information sources, the paper attempts to contribute to the analysis of the international insertion of an emerging power as Brazil in full mutation of the international order.

Systemic realist arguments of foreign policy decision-making suggest that partisan disagreement stops at the water's edge. A domestic-politics model of foreign policy decision-making posits that politics does not stop at the water's edge. Extant research on foreign policy voting in the U.S. Congress is consistent with the systemic realist argument. According to this research, partisan voting is less likely to occur on national security, or high-politics issues, than on low-politics issues. I argue that this research suffers from two flaws. First, it does not measure high-politics in accordance with systemic realist thinking. Second, the goal in addressing the water's-edge question is not to learn if a specific variable, such as high-politics, is significant, but to compare competing models. To this end, it is necessary to engage in a "three-cornered fight" and conduct a nonnested model discrimination test. After creating a new measure of high-politics, I compare a systemic realist model against a domestic-politics model of foreign policy voting in the House of Representatives from 1953—2000. The model discrimination test indicates that the domestic-politics model outperforms the systemic realist model. Institutional dynamics and public opinion are more important for understanding foreign policy voting than are more traditional realist variables.

Why did Russia's relations with the West shift from cooperation a few decades ago to a new era of confrontation today? Some explanations focus narrowly on changes in the balance of power in the international system, or trace historic parallels and cultural continuities in Russian international behavior. For a complete understanding of Russian foreign policy today, individuals, ideas, and institutions—President Vladimir Putin, Putinism, and autocracy—must be added to the analysis. An examination of three cases of recent Russian intervention (in Ukraine in 2014, Syria in 2015, and the United States in 2016) illuminates the causal influence of these domestic determinants in the making of Russian foreign policy.
