Foreign Policy Process

Last meeting, we talked about how to draft a policy paper. First the definition of a Foreign Policy which is also called the international relations policy that consists of strategies chosen by the state to safeguard its national interests and to achieve its goals in international relations. The first step is Decision Making. It is where we could set the goals and meetings and consultations with different institutions. Under this is the announcement of policy, identifying the national interest, collection of data and planning. Second step is the implementation of the policy so that it could be accomplished and executed already. Third step is the result and consequences, this would be hard because you’d get a lot of comments, whether violent or not. Last step is the Evaluation. In this process, revisions and adjustments are present. After this, we were told to draft a policy regarding the lecture that was discussed earlier.
