Abstract
Against the background of the current tendency of foreign policy analysts to emphasize the so‐called domestic sources of foreign policy, this article discusses the role played by external factors. Three different ways in which the student of domestic sources of foreign policy may conceive of the interplay between foreign and domestic factors are suggested. The significance of domestic factors for the analyst whose primary focus is on the foreign ones is then discussed. Empirical illustrations are taken from Sweden's foreign and defence policy.
