Nature of the State
States represent the demands of a subset of domestic individuals and social groups, on the basis of whose interests they define "state preferences" and act instrumentally to manage globalization

Theoretical Variants

Liberalism
Central insight: globalization-induced variation in social demands and state preferences is a fundamental cause of state behavior in world politics
Commercial Liberalism
Stress economic interdependence, including many variants of 'endogenous policy theory'; source of social demands relevant to foreign policy is the pattern of transnational market incentives; broadly functionalist argument; focuses on the interplay between aggregate incentives and distributional consequences
Republican Liberalism
Stress the role of domestic representative institutions, elites and leadership dynamics, and executive-legislative relations; source of fundamental social preferences relevant to international politics is the institutional structure of domestic political representation; emphasizes the way domestic institutions and practices aggregate such pressures (societal identities and interests related to globalization), transforming them into state policies; theoretically critical point = extent of bias in representation
Ideational Liberalism
Link state behavior to varied conceptions of desirable forms of cultural, political, and socioeconomic order; source of state preferences is the set of core domestic social identities (who belongs to the society and what is owed to them)
