There has been a growing pressure on foreign policy-makers in Canada and other societies to pay more attention to religion as they study international relations, formulate policies, conduct diplomacy, and deliver programs abroad. This pressure is multifaceted and has both domestic and international sources. Yet, for a variety of reasons, "negotiating the religious dimension" abroad carries important caveats. The purpose of this paper is to review the rationale for including religion in the policy process and to work through some of the methodological and normative challenges this endeavour represents for scholars and practitioners. It argues for a modest facilitative approach to creating safe and inclusive forums within which ideas with religious dimensions could be broached and contested.

Résumé Après huit ans de « doctrine Bush » basée sur une stratégie coûteuse et infructueuse de démocratisation du Moyen-Orient faite d'action unilatérale, de guerre préventive, l'administration Obama aura un lourd héritage à assumer. Que restera-t-il de cette stratégie après Bush ? Même si Obama a déclaré vouloir poursuivre le « freedom agenda » (notamment en Afghanistan), la nouvelle donne des relations internationales et la piètre image laissée par son prédécesseur dans le monde le conduiront certainement à réorienter la politique étrangère américaine vers un multilatéralisme réaliste et pragmatique.

How can the foreign policy of a State like Cameroon be systematically assessed? The literature on diplomacy and on foreign policy analysis seem to agree, on the one hand, on the fact that the later belongs to the public policy analysis domain and, therefore, on the other hand, on the difficulty in assessing it. This, due to its particularity, groomed, among other things, in its great reactivity to the international situation and its temporal permanence. Thus, the question of the timing and criteria for assessing foreign policy has remained an unknown to be resolved. This work attempts to unravel the tangle of the possibility or not of a (systematic) assessment of foreign policy, based on the example of Cameroon. It then determines, in order to achieve this, in a complex approach, the criteria of assessibility, including that of starting not from a heavy and plural organization such as a ministry, department or agency, but from a monolithic and complete institutional role like that of President of the Republic, Head of State. It proceeds by exploiting a corpus of speeches archived over twenty years and by adopting the approach of graphic modeling and mapping, all in a hypothetico-inductive perspective specific to the sociology of International Relations. The results arrived at the end of the application of this new assessment model, show that Cameroon's foreign policy, apprehended from the diplomatic discourse, had: 1) a high Western geodiplomatic perspective, with strong roots in Western Europe and France; 2) a relatively average African geodiplomatic perspective, limited to Nigeria (bilateral diplomacy) and in Gabon and Ethiopia (multilateral diplomacy); 3) a weak Asian geodiplomatic perspective, limited to bilateral diplomacy and China. Moreover, over the period under review, Central and South America, SouthEast Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and North Africa remained diplomatic grey areas, and therefore areas of lesser interest to Cameroonian foreign policy. Cultural Africa remains neglected, while ...

Ce mémoire étudie la politique étrangère des Etats-Unis au Chili pendant les années 1970-1980, et plus particulièrement le processus décisionnel de Nixon et Kissinger ayant mené au coup d'Etat chilien de 1973, ainsi que les politiques successives à ce dernier. Les politiques menées par Carter et Reagan sont également envisagées afin premièrement de les comparer à celles de Nixon et Kissinger, et dans un deuxième temps, dans le but de dresser une conclusion sur l'impact de l'individu dans la politique étrangère. Cette analyse s'appuie sur les documents officiels émanant de différentes institutions américaines ainsi que sur les théories de la FPA (foreign policy analysis). ; Master [120] en sciences politiques, orientation relations internationales, Université catholique de Louvain, 2017

La politique étrangère chinoise sous le président XI est marquée à la fois par une continuité et une évolution présente, et par une vision des développements à venir. Je voudrais partager mes pensées personnelles sur les points suivants : 1. Le contexte interne et externe ; 2. Les théories et les stratégies ; 3. Les politiques suivies et les actions menées ; 4. Les difficultés et les défis rencontrés.
