Product Description
Review
'This is a very creative, broad-ranging evaluation of the changing status and current state of foreign policy analysis. Provocative and insightful, it fills a major gap in the literature and should command a wide audience and much critical attention.' - Charles W. Kegley, Jr., Pearce Professor of International Relations, University of South Carolina and President, International Studies Association, 1993-1994
'[C]omprehensive and incisive...exceptionally readable, detailed and articulate...a must-read for any student of International Relations who wants to understand the main forces and processes behind contemporary foreign policy.' - Yossi Mekelberg, International Affairs
'[J]udicious and acute. Hill is the voice of reason...He is a penetrating reader, rescuing several earlier works from undeserved obscurity...The Changing Politics of Foreign Policy is a deeply pondered and heartfelt work. As a primer, for the fogged student or the fuddled functionary of state, it is unsurpassed.' - Alex Danchev, Times Higher Education Supplement
'[A] rigorous and comprehensive assessment of [Foreign Policy Analysis]... that would be worth assigning both in general seminars and those devoted more directly towards comparative foreign policy.... Should be required reading for those already in the field of FPA and may help to generate interest from new scholars.' - Patrick James, Perspectives on Politics
'[A] vigorous rebuttal of those IR scholars who dismiss foreign policy as of little concern...will be the definitive account of the subject for many years to come.' - Professor Saki Dockrill, Journal of Transatlantic Studies

Format:Paperback
Good textbook for introductory modules on foreign policy analysis. However, certain chapters betray the author's lack of awareness of the major debates on a particular issue (e.g. the relationship between media, public opinion, and foreign policy). This is the problem when one author attempts a work of this scope.

Format:Paperback
Decent book for understanding topics, as it uses decent examples that allow you to break down the subjects and topics. Overall a decent book.

Very approachable
8 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a good book. It is very approachable. Easy to read. Doesn't get caught up in tons of theory but writes for the novice reader.

A Literary Abortion
15 May 2005
Format:Paperback
This pretentious work of incomprehensible page fodder was unfortunately forced upon me as a student of International Relations. Christopher Hill's book reads like one excrutiatingly long sentence, and is really really boring. Hill delights in tossing around ridiculously obscure foreign nonsense, e.g. "pacta sunt servanda" without any reasoning or explaination whatsoever. This book should really be sold conjointly with French, German, and Latin dictionaries. The author seems more concerned with impressing his snobby academic cohorts than with actually informing the reader. "The Changing Politics of Foreign Policy" is a cheap and narcissistic ego rampage. This rubbish should neither be read, nor recommended to students of IR intent on learning anything about anything. If you are Christopher Hill, and you are reading this right now: I hate you. If I could give this book 0 stars I would.
