Summary: This kind of study of the role of ideology in inter- national politics does not go deep enough. For not only in democracies, but often in dictatorships, foreign policy merely reflects the ethico-political ideals of an evolved culture operat- ing in the background, although the particular use to which these ideals are put in a given situation for purposes of foreign policy may depend on the exigencies of international relations as well as the type of government which formulates the policy. In other words, when two nations confront each other in inter- national relations, the ideological element in their foreign policies is an index of the confrontation of their institutions and ideals. For a scientific study of the role of ideology in international politics, therefore, it is necessary also to investi- gate the sociological confrontation of nations.
