INTRODUCTIONForeign policy is the relationship between states. “Foreign policy is an activity of the state with which it realizes its goals and interests on the international scene” (Patrič, 2013, p. 1). Foreign policy has many definitions from other scholar. According to Laura Neack, quoted by Charles Herman, (n.d.), mentioned foreign policy as: “The purposeful and unobtrusive action that results from the policy-level decision of an individual or group of individuals… [is] l 'observable artefact of a decision at the political level. It is the decision, but a product of the decision' (Neack, 2003, p. 25) There are many approaches that can be applied in making foreign policy decisions. approach is the rational actor, bureaucracy, strategic planning, organizational behavior and hypothetical flow. This article will preview the approaches such as rational actor, organizational behavior and bureaucratic model by Graham T. Allison. DISCUSSION The rational actor is an integral part of the rationalist approach to foreign policy decision making. At every basic level, we assume that people are rational in making every aspect of social norms. Therefore, rationality is a complex concept with different meanings and different people or actors. According to Slantchev “rationality has no connotation of normative behavior”. (Slantchev, April 19, 2005) From here we can see that social norms are not at all based on the rationality of the actors. According to Slantchev, “Thus, it can well be argued that Hitler was rational even though his actions were clearly morally reprehensible. Likewise, it is quite possible to argue that suicide terrorists are r... half of paper... depend on the rationality of the leader. The state will benefit if the decision is to grant benefits to the state. The organizational model is different from the rational actor model. The government organization is the one responsible for foreign policy decisions. The organization is made up of a lot of organization in the government. This model depends on the standard operating procedure when making certain foreign policy decisions. The bureaucratic model is also different from the rational actor model, in which the leader is not the person responsible for foreign policy decisions. People in government make decisions for their own self-interest, that is, to maintain their own survival in the state (Brummer, 2009). In other words, we can say that each approach has its own function and procedure in making foreign policy decisions.
