They unpack the foreign policy challenges and opportunities following from the anarchic structure of the international system, explain how relative power matters for what states can and cannot do, and explore the mechanisms by which structural incentives are translated into foreign policy through decision-makers and domestic politics and discourses. The article provides a critical overview of realist approaches to foreign policy analysis and discusses how one of these approaches, neoclassical realism, may be reconceptualised as a template for multifactor and multilevel analysis benefitting from recent advances in FPA.",
