Goldsmith provides a trenchant overview of the extant literature and evidence, finding that specification and operationalization problems may explain the disconnect. Providing a distinctive and generalizable approach drawing on concepts from psychology and organizational behavior, this book refines theories of foreign policy to include observational learning to identify when imitation is likely and what behaviors are most imitated. Both statistical and case study methods are used to uncover patterns of analogy usage. Looking at Russia and the Ukraine, Goldsmith increases our understanding of the foreign policies of these two states while also expanding the empirical base of research. By exploring the practical and theoretical significance of learning and imitation, this is an important contribution for foreign policy professionals and scholars. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aOrganization 606 $aForeign Policy 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 14$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aOrganization. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 676 $a327.47/009/049 700 $aGoldsmith$b Benjamin E$01792408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961589203321 996 $aImitation in International Relations$94330861 997 $aUNINA
