Making foreign policy foreign
Summary:
Building on earlier work, I delve into the translations of “foreign policy” and the potential challenges following from these translations. I start with a section on how something conceptualizable as “foreign policy” first emerged. Then I discuss at an overarching level how this something was translated. I pay particular attention to English, French and the Scandinavian languages. A final section returns to one of the many implications of this for International Relations theorising, before I conclude.
