Let's get started

When I was given an essay assignment where I had the freedom to choose a topic my mind started cranking out topics I’d studied before, like urbanization, to things I just wanted to learn, like how to fix a car.  I’m an International Studies major and decided I wanted to research something that could help me in other classes.  Foreign policy is a topic we’ve discussed in a lot of my classes, but I wanted to go more in-depth.  I began my research by simply looking up the definition of foreign policy on the internet.  Foreign policy is a policy pursued by a nation in dealing with other nations.  So, each nation has a unique policy towards other countries.  This led me to the United States Department of State’s website so I could learn more about the United State’s policies.  I found that there are policies encompassing tons of topics.  What causes a nation to develop a foreign policy?  Is it economically driven?
