DETERMINANTS OF FOREIGN POLICY
The foreign policy of a country is influenced by so many factors Some of the important factors which influence the foreign policy of acountry or constitute the inputs of the foreign policy broadly speaking these factors fall into two categories, domestic and external.
Domestic Factors
1.Size.
In the first place the size of a state's territory as well as it’s population greatly influences its foreign policy. Generally the leaders and people of countries with small territory and population do not expect their country to carry great weight in international affairs. On the other hand the leaders and people of large countries are ready to assume special responsibilities. However, sometimes even small states which have rich resources also leave a deep impact on world politics. For example, Britain, a small country, played leading role in world politics in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In our own times the oil-rich countries of the Middle
East, though small in size are playing a significant role in international politics. On the other hand large states like Canada and Australia have not been able to pursue effective foreign policy.
Commonwealth of Independent states (CIS) which came into existence after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, though quite large in size, is not able to play an effective role in contemporary international relations.
2.Geography.
The geography of a country, including its fertility, climate, location in relation to their land
masses, and water-ways etc. also
