Analysis of foreign policy in the international arena is a principal issue for Political Science as well as International Relations and so far many views and analyses have been provided in this area. While, during the early phases, Realism was the dominant approach in analysis of foreign policy, in the aftermath of the revolution in behavioral sciences, three new views, including, decision making process, comparative foreign policy and psychological environment were created. However, with the development of Post-Positivism in the field of Social Science three other new approaches are produced which are: Institutional Approach, Sociological Approach, and Culture and Identity Approach. Therefore, while considering these approaches, in order to provide a new analysis on International Relations, the author of this paper attempts to build a link between these new approaches.
