세계체제론의 외교정책 분석방법

After the Cold War, the World-Order reveals as the form of the Capitalist World-System. It proves that the former USSR and the eastern socialist states are collapsed and incorporated into the Capitalist World-System entirely and voluntarily. Furthermore, remaining socialist states in the world, like China and Cuba, participate on the Capitalist World-System in order to survive. So, all the states in the world are adapted and forced to survive in the capitalist World-System in the name of globalization. Particularly, weak states are adapted and forced to survive in the open world-market. In this context, weak states′ foreign policy accords with the logic of open world-market , namely the economic logic of the Capitalist World-system. For example, One of the weak states' foreign policies invites foreign capital not to fall into the state bankruptcy. In this reason, this paper presents the foreign policy in the World-System theory. So, this thesis deals with the approaching methods on micro analysis of foreign policies which is understood from the part to the whole and macro analysis of foreign policies from the whole to the part and the World-Systemic approaching method of foreign policies. And in this thesis, the framework of foreign policy analysis followed the World-System theory. Decision-making in foreign policy of a state is limited by the environmental factors of the World-System namely changing world-market and core state, and is accomplished by the dominant classes representing the interest of bourgeois, and is practiced by the relative state autonomy. According to the World-System theory, decision-making mechanism in foreign policy of a certain state is based on and acts with the capital accumulation, and this mechanism appears in accordance with the various forms of surplus capital derived from the existence or non existence and more or less of capital accumulation and time and place which are affected by the Kondratieff circles and Hegemony circles.
