The Media

Theoretical and empirical work on public policy agenda setting has ignored foreign policy. We develop a theory of foreign policy agenda setting and test the implications using time-series vector autoregression and Box-Tiao (1975) impact assessment methods. We theorize an economy of attention to foreign policy issues driven by issue inertia, events external to U.S. domestic institutions, as well as systemic attention to particular issues. We also theorize that the economy of attention is affected by a law of scarcity and the rise and fall of events in competing issue areas. Using measures of presidential and media attention to the Soviet Union, Arab-Israeli conflict, and Bosnian conflict, we show that presidential and media attentions respond to issue inertia and exogenous events in both primary and competing issue areas. Media attention also affects presidential attention, but the president does not affect issue attention by the media.

Desde a última década tem se observado um movimento brasileiro em direção à África cada vez mais forte. Embora as relações do Brasil com a África remontem a própria história brasileira, só na última década é que o vizinho africano passou a ser prioridade na agenda da política externa brasileira. Muitos estudiosos afirmam que o ex-presidente Lula da Silva desempenhou um papel importante por trás do dinamismo observado nos anos recentes. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar a política externa brasileira voltada para a África durante os governos Luís Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) e Dilma Rousseff (2011-2014), identificando suas continuidades e descontinuidades. Para identificar qual o teor e extensão das continuidades e descontinuidades entre os dois governos foi utilizado o modelo elaborado por Hermann (1990).Palavras-chave: Política externa. Brasil.

Although Brazil's relations with Africa date back Brazilian history itself, only in the last decade is that the African neighbor became a priority in Brazil's foreign policy agenda. Many scholars claim former President Lula da Silva has played an important role in the dynamism observed in recent years. The objective of this study analyzes the Brazilian foreign policy towards Africa during the governments Luis Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) and Dilma Rousseff (2011-2014), identifying its continuities and discontinuities. To identify the content and extent of the continuities and discontinuities between the two governments the model developed by Hermann (1990) served as the theoretical and methodological basis.Keywords: Foreign policy.

The conclusion has two main objectives. The first is to show how the International Religious Freedom, Faith-Based Foreign Aid, Muslim and Islamic Interventions, and Religious Engagement regimes form a broader American foreign policy regime complex on religion. The second objective is to reflect on the book’s wider implications for the study of religion in international relations and highlight areas for further research. This includes assessing the strength of the book’s theoretical framework in light of ongoing developments under the Trump administration; understanding better the changes occurring to the religious traditions and actors that America draws from and intervenes in around the world; investigating further how the American experience with the operationalization of religion in foreign policy relates and compares to similar policy changes taking place elsewhere; and reflecting more broadly on the implications for international order of the growing systematic attempt by the United States to manage and mobilize religion in twenty-first-century world politics.

The Cold War

Since the end of the Cold War religion has increasingly become an organized subject and object of American foreign policy. This has been notable with the emergence of four religious foreign policy regimes—International Religious Freedom, Faith-Based Foreign Aid, Muslim and Islamic Interventions, and Religious Engagement—which together constitute an American foreign policy regime complex on religion. The introduction poses the book’s three guiding questions. First, why and how did these different, yet closely related, religious foreign policy regimes emerge? Second, have the boundaries between religion and state been redefined by these regimes, and if so, how? Third, what are the global effects of the growing entanglement between faith and American foreign policy? The chapter introduces the concepts and arguments that are central to answering these questions. It also highlights the contributions made to the existing literature, discusses some definitional and methodological issues, and presents the plan of the book.
