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

3.0 out of 5 starsAn reasonably good textbook
By Phil on 17 Jan. 2012
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise primer for IR/FPA 5 Feb. 2015
By Eli Monat - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
This is a very clear, concise, and useful starting book for learning about foreign policy analysis.

I would definitely recommend this to people just starting out an IR/FPA course. Also check out Stephen Van Evera's "Guide to methods for students of political science", the first chapter of which can be found online.

I actually used this as a starting point for holding a course on foreign policy analysis, it goes over all the basics and the chapters are clearly headed. Despite being a few years old this is clearly still relevant today.

Another reviewer here calls it "incomprehensible page fodder" which I'd have to take issue with. Anybody with a high/secondary school grasp of the English language should have no difficulty with the book. There were a few latin phrases, but they were either so commonplace in English use that it didn't matter, or it was clear what was meant by the context. I can only imagine that this other reviewer had to buy this book for a subject requirement, and neither liked the course, the teacher, or the subject itself! If you are interested in foreign policy or international relations, this is a great primer like I said. A parent bought it for me whilst I was at university and it served me well right through to my masters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very approachable 8 Jun. 2008
By B. Ruyle - Published on Amazon.com
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Literary Abortion 15 May 2005
By Andrew J. Stiles IV - Published on Amazon.com
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.
