CEVAP:

Another characteristic of the liberal tradition is that liberals reject the distinction made by realists between international and domestic politics, since they see foreign policy as an extension of the latter. This is also why, they do not differentiate between the political processes in the two spheres and analyze the decision-making processes as a multiactor pluralism of individuals interacting with each other, such as forming coalitions and countercoalitions to reach consensus. This can easily be seen in the liberal decision-making theories based on ageny which is the individual decisionmaker(s). Opposing to the realist dedication to nationstate as the focus of analysis, in liberal view, the political processes are foci and are formed through competition and cooperation among individuals and groups as agents (representing both state and non-state actors) (Viotti & Kauppi, 2012, 136-7).
