Abstract

An approach to the study of the interactions of nations is developed based on the perspective that nations develop routines for dealing with each other, routines of reciprocity and bureaucratic inertia. This approach specified how decision makers select types of action and reactions from an inventory of foreign policy outputs to meet different kinds of routine and non-routine international situations. The theoretical structure of routine and non-routine international situations. The theoretical structure of the approach is laid out which essentially posits that the foreign policy output of a nation is a function of reciprocity and bureaucratic inertia.
