Previous studies on foreign policy have documented the proliferation of actors in addition to those focusing on the role of identities in shaping preferences and behavior of actors.

Sectarian Actors in Foreign Policy Making: 2006 Lebanese War Revisited
Tinas, Murat; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem (2018-01-01)

In this realm, I argue that statistics and structural functionalist theoretical framework have been intensively used in the state funded surveys. In order to elucidate the role of the state in respect to for...
