George Modelski defines foreign policy as

changing the behavior of other states and for adjusting their own activities to the international environment. Foreign policy must throw light on the ways states attempt to change, and succeed in changing the behavior of other states.”
The foreign policy serves as
an intersection point of domestic and international politics.
