individuals. How these group actors are governed, and the processes and procedures
they follow to reach foreign policy decisions, are forces of their own that structure and
determine the decisions that are reached. The size of the organization, its power
relative to the other actors with which it interacts, the financial resources, and the
distribution of opinion within the actor all affect its capacity to make foreign policy
choices in response to changes in global circumstances.
