The aim of this book is to provide the reader with an overview of the foreign policy of 105 states and to close a social scientific gap. There is no handbook in the social science literature on foreign policy regarding the foreign policy of the most important nation states that affords a swift and compact overview of this policy area. The lack of such a basic handbook up to now is even more astonishing in the light of the increasing interdependence and network character of foreign policy and in the light of the difficulties of the present international order in overcoming structural problems and regional problems.

In order to create compatibility of the individual contributions, the essays have a similar structure. At the conclusion of each article there is a select bibliography.
