How do political parties affect foreign policy? This book answers
this question by exploring the role of party politics as source of
foreign policy change in liberal democracies. The book shifts the
focus from individual political parties to party systems as the
context in which parties' ideologies receive precise content and
their preferences are formed. The central claim is that foreign
policy change arises from within transformed discursive contexts of
party competition, when a new language of politics that constitutes
anew parties' self-understanding of what they stand for and compete
over emerges in a party system. By comparing cases of contested
foreign policy change, the book shows how such transformations in
party competition determine whether and when international
pressures on a state will translate into decisions to institute
foreign policy change and what degree of change will be ultimately
implemented. With a novel framework which bridges concepts of
international relations and comparative politics, the book will be
of interest to researchers and students in the areas of
international relations theory, foreign policy analysis and
comparative politics, and generally to anyone wanting to understand
how and when parties, elections and voters contribute to
international change.
