“Fills a void in the comparative study of foreign policy…. Jesse’s book systematically analyzes the differing foreign policies of states, allowing [students] to assess the practical decisions made by states and their foreign policy decisionmakers.” ―Timothy J. White, Xavier University

"Neal Jesse's book stands out within the study of comparative foreign policy, providing an 'outside in' rather than 'inside out' take on how states formulate and pursue their foreign policy objectives. Jesse places a premium on the rank hierarchy of states as a conditioning factor that shapes not only behaviors but also interests. The result is a rich depiction of how the prevailing global order affects the conduct of foreign policy across a cross-section of states." ―Michael Butler, Clark University

Clearly written, authoritative, pedagogically sound ... This new text effectively links cases and theory to provide students with a thorough understanding of the ways that foreign policy is crafted and carried out in diverse countries around the world.

Grounding his approach in dominant IR theories―and ranging from great powers to small states―Neal Jesse provides the comparative perspective needed to make clear the connections between theory and practice in the conduct of foreign affairs.
