Two-Good is better than One Morgan and Palmer's A Theory of Foreign Policy is an ambitious attempt to answer the age old adage of "why do states do what they do".Unlike the traditional realist, neo-realist emphasis on power and security (which the authors regard as non-falsifiable and empirically unsubstantiated), Morgan and Palmer argue that states pursue 2 goals (goods), Maintenance(protecting parts of the international system that they like) and Change (changing parts of the system that they do not like.Using this two good
The book is an interesting attempt to establish a general theory of foreign policy behavior."--Ivan T. Berend, European Review. "Political scientists Glenn Palmer and T. In a clear narrative, the authors present a mathematically formulated and statistically based explanation, and test the theory on several historical cases. Clifton Morgan set an ambitious program to develop a general theory of comparative foreign policy. Clifton Morgan propose a new theory of foreign policy that challenges theories based on security as the single goal of policy analysts."--Choice"Glenn Palmer and T. They rightly criticize the so-called 'realist' and 'neorealist' concepts, which give an overly simplistic explanation of foreign policy behavior as being policy motivated by one central goal: security of the nation and offer a few good princip
The authors also undertake statistical analyses of a wide range of behaviors, and these generally support the theory.A Theory of Foreign Policy represents a major advance over traditional analyses of international relations. Particularly useful are the implications for foreign policy substitutability. A state's ability to do so is largely a function of its relative capability, and since national capability is finite, a state must make trade-offs between policies designed to achieve change or maintenance. The theory stands in contrast to most approaches--which assume that states want to maximize security--by assuming that states pursue two things, or goods, through their foreign policy: change and maintenance. Not only do its empirical implications speak to a broader range of policies but, more importantly, the book illuminates the trade-offs decision makers face in selecting among policies to maximize utility, given a state's goals.. States, in other words, try both to change aspects of the international status quo that they don't like and maintain those aspects they do like. Glenn Palmer and Clifton Morgan apply their theory to cases ranging from American foreign policy since World War II to Chinese foreign policy since 1949 to the Suez Cana
