Abstract

Cultural norms do not directly affect a diplomatic drama. As argued in Chapter 3, different individuals often apply different norms to their understanding and management of foreign relations. For a particular norm to affect foreign policy, there must be a particular politician or a group of politicians in power to apply the norm. The natural question, then, is what kind of people tend to apply which type of norms? One thing which needs to be re-emphasised here is that styles of politicians and the norms they apply to inter-state diplomacy are not necessarily related to ideological beliefs. Styles and norms together establish a psychocultural construct where the way a particular ideology to be pursued is formulated.
