2, List the instruments of foreign policy: (1) military; (2) economic; and (3) diplomacy.
3, Explain that military tools involve war or force, or the threat of it, used to influence actions in other countries; economic tools include trade regulations, tariff policies, monetary policies, and economic sanctions; and diplomacy is the process through which nations carry on relations and negotiators work out treaties to formalize those relations.
