Abstract
A defining characteristic of Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) is the preoccupation with the study of policy-making and implementing processes. The FPA approach shed light on how (i) the global and domestic environments of the foreign policy-making state, (ii) the institutionalization of foreign policy-making processes, and (iii) attributes of individual decision-makers influence (iv) perceptions as to what is the scope for political maneuvring, (v) choice of foreign policy preferences and goals, (vi) choice of strategy and calibration of policy instruments (caveats included), (vii) material implementation of policies, and (viii) particular speech acts executed to justify foreign policies toward constituencies and target groups capable of influencing decisions and the political costs of policy implementation. On each step of the policy-making and implementing processes, it is discussed how insights from FPA may contribute to the study of the politics of caveats.
