Comparative analysis and types of interaction of foreign policy strategies of modern states

In modern conditions, the task of comparative analysis and identification of correlation models of foreign policy strategies of modern states remains relevant. One of the ways to solve it is connected with the consideration of foreign policy strategies in coordinate systems of systemic qualities and conflict inherent in international relations. From the point of view of a systematic approach, the foreign policy strategies of modern states can be divided depending on the level of goal-setting (the scale of goals may involve the implementation of strategies at the level of the entire system of international relations, as well as its subsystems or individual actors), as well as based on the nature of their impact on the structure of international relations (they may be aimed at changing or preserving it). Based on the modern interpretation of the phenomena of international conflict and conflict, it seems possible to identify several models of correlation or interaction of foreign policy strategies of modern states. In particular, it is proposed to consider conflict, confrontational, neutral and cooperative models as such models. In the interests of a comparative analysis of foreign policy strategies, the use of such a characteristic of international conflicts as “asymmetry” may be justified. The asymmetric nature of foreign policy strategies can manifest itself in the asymmetry of goals, means of achieving them, as well as threats.
