Neoclassical Realist Intervening Variables
Neoclassical Realist Intervening Variables
Chapter 3 details and delimits the range of unit-level intervening variables employed by neoclassical realists. In particular, it identifies four broad classes of intervening variables, which include: (1) leader images, (2) strategic culture, (3) domestic institutions, and (4) state-society relations. Within the variables are models, such as psychological and bureaucratic/organizational, which reflect other approaches to foreign policy analysis. All of which lead to policy response and international outcomes. It then explains how each of these intervening variable clusters affects the three intervening-level processes, which were identified in Chapter 1, (1) perception of the international system, (2) decision-making, and (3) resource mobilization and policy implementation.
