Macro decisions occur in an anticipated manner, they are not responses to sudden and unexpected situations, they are made in a relatively long time frame and the decision making process in which these decisions are taken include a large variety of domestic political actors. For example, the reevaluation of the relations with a country and/or a region, the level of defense spending, the policy towards nuclear armament etc. can be labeled as macro foreign policy decisions (Pearson and Rochester, 1992: 201).
