Abstract
When we think of foreign policy, which is often called statecraft, naturally we realize that we are dealing with the relations of one nation with another. At the same time, however, we often do not stop to appreciate that this most often comes down to the relations between one person and another, or one specific group of political leaders with another. This is to say that foreign policy is conducted among human beings rather than among blind, abstract entities called nation-states. Therefore, all the dynamics that are important in any interaction between human beings on just about any level become important in the relations between one country and another.
