The framing of foreign policy is an essential activity of the modern state. In fact, all states have some kind of relations with one another, however distant one state may be from the other ones. Their relationship arises from the following circumstances; first the state is, as Lenin remarked, not an immured island but a member of society of states, participation in which is inescapable, and, secondly, that in this society political power is not centralized but distributed among the states in an unequal measure.
Every state has to behave with other states in a particular manner, the study of this behaviour is really the content of foreign policy. The behaviour of one state effects the behaviour of other states. But every state tries to maximise the favourable effect of the actions of other states which Modelski calls "the the purpose of foreign policy."
