چکیده:
Structural changes in the international system in the last decade of the twentieth century should be considered one of the most important global developments. In the 1990s, such structural changes left their mark on international politics, international economy, and the foreign policy of countries. In this process, traditional competitions between superpowers have ended. However, a new trend of conflicts and cooperations has emerged in the global system. With the end of the bipolar system, we are witnessing the emergence of new instabilities between countries and within political units. This has replaced previous behaviors and competitions among political actors. In this era, the political strategy of the United States has been based on the 'expansion' pattern. Based on this strategy, American forces have gained the ability to intervene in many regional areas, thereby influencing the foreign policy and international behavior of these political units. Accordingly, the foreign policy of most countries should be considered influenced by the will and actions of the international structure, transnational actors, and subnational actors. These actors reduce the power of 'states' as independent actors in international politics.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The above trend has emerged at a time when, in the post-Cold War era, the "Realism Paradigm" and the "State Centric approach" have lost their functionality; based on the theoretical foundations and realist approaches, "countries" are considered the primary actors of the international system.
Based on how foreign policy interactions take shape and the type of reciprocal action of actors in the arena of international politics, the "Pattern of Behavior" of countries becomes distinct from one another.
Transformation in the structure of the international system as well as changes created in the national roles of countries, leaves an impact on foreign policy behavior and its pattern, cognitive, and behavioral components.
It is natural that during this era, the foreign policy of countries undergoes transformation and new trends replace previous behavioral models in the structural domain of the international system and regional politics.
Structuralists emphasize that the interacting forces of political units (and even great powers) influence each other in such a way that they transform the initial goals of each country in the field of foreign policy.
Just as the structure of the international system is shaped under the influence of national power and the influential capacity of countries, this can also leave an impact on the foreign policy and political behavior of actors and political units.
This is, on one hand, due to the structural manifestations and the level of national power of countries and political units in the international arena, and on the other hand, it is related to the type of interaction and alliances created in the post-Cold War era.
