National Choices and International Processes brings together the
various conflicting approaches to the study of foreign policy
decision-making under a single theoretical framework. Initially
examining decision processes within states, Zeev Maoz continues by
exploring the relationship between the creation of national choices
and their outcomes, the interactions between states and the manner
in which international processes evolve over time. This he calls
the 'bottom up' approach which is contrasted in his last chapter
with the 'top down' approach of systems analysis. Although the
focus of this study is on theoretical construction, Maoz provides a
thorough analysis of the literature on foreign policy
decision-making and international bargaining. His arguments are
supported both by separate chapters of mathematical analysis and by
numerous historical examples, often from the Middle East - an area
where the author has particular expertise. National Choices and
International Processes is the culmination of many years work. It
will be of interest to students and specialists in foreign policy
and international relations theory.
