Theoretical Framework of Critical Analysis Approach to Foreign Policy

This study aimed to provide a theoretical framework of critical analysis to foreign policy. The main argument of this study is that critical analytic approach to foreign policy because of the negation of the principles and assumptions of the international relation’s traditional approach in its trans-theoretical foundations and as a result, a distinct conceptual framework, is more capable to explaining the foreign policy behavior of such an international actors that are not satisfied to the existing world order. The authors believe, however the reactionary theories of international relations in general and critical theories of international relation in particular, has most emphasis on trans-theoretical aspect of the theory of global politics, however, according to the normative and critical aspects of the this approach, it probable to extract general principles and guidelines to processing the foreign policy trends of formal international actors (states) and informal actors (such as associations, organizations and NGOs) that advocate changes in the existing system of international law and the world order.
