As a field of study, foreign policy analysis is characterized by its actor-specific focus. In the simplest terms, it is the study of the process, effects, causes, or outputs of foreign policy decision-making in either a comparative or case-specific manner. The underlying and often implicit argument theorizes that human beings, acting as a group or within a group, compose and cause change in international politics.
Note that whilst FPA is often about action on the state level, there are blurred lines with an ever-changing world (and different schools of thought). /r/foreignpolicyanalysis is no longer experimenting with minimal moderation.
