Abstract

Recent scholarship on parties and foreign policy argues that foreign policy preferences seem to be split along the same lines as the general policy disputes. We use spatial modeling to analyze whether this is indeed the case. Drawing on the unique complete sample of all votes in the Slovakia's National Council from 2002 through 2019, our results suggest that the split over foreign policy is much smaller than the general policy divide. Contrary to expectations, this split does not follow the left–right distinction. The results suggest that the government–opposition split remains in the foreign policy as well.

外交政策的政党政治维度：斯洛伐克国民议会的空间建模

最近关于政党和外交政策的学者认为，外交政策偏好似乎与一般政策争议一样存在分歧。我们使用空间建模来分析情况是否确实如此。根据2002年至2019年斯洛伐克全国委员会所有选票的独特完整样本，我们的结果表明，在外交政策上的分歧远小于总体政策分歧。与预期相反，这种分裂并没有遵循左右的区别。研究结果表明，政府和反对派的分歧仍然存在于外交政策中。

期刊介绍： Reflecting the diverse, comparative and multidisciplinary nature of the field, Foreign Policy Analysis provides an open forum for research publication that enhances the communication of concepts and ideas across theoretical, methodological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. By emphasizing accessibility of content for scholars of all perspectives and approaches in the editorial and review process, Foreign Policy Analysis serves as a source for efforts at theoretical and methodological integration and deepening the conceptual debates throughout this rich and complex academic research tradition. Foreign policy analysis, as a field of study, is characterized by its actor-specific focus. The underlying, often implicit argument is that the source of international politics and change in international politics is human beings, acting individually or in groups. In the simplest terms, foreign policy analysis is the study of the process, effects, causes or outputs of foreign policy decision-making in either a comparative or case-specific manner.
