Foreign policy is the way in which states articulate their interests toward foreign actors. The effectiveness of the articulation rests on the relative level of power that a state has. Foreign policy elites have faced only sporadic pressure from mass public opinion. Under the scope of the accelerant effect, the existence of a 24 hour media environment leads to a constant flow of news and information, which acts as a pressing factor upon governmental decision-making. On that account, the accelerant effect impairs the quality of both the gathering of intelligence and of the actual response formation (Hoge 1994, 137). The constant flow of information can also be seen as an impediment to operational/national security, since news coverage on certain topics may lead to disclosure of classified information.
A significant restriction of proportion investigation is its verifiable nature. Proportion investigation depends absolutely on passed information and as such can’t satisfactorily address the organization’s future presentation.
A few proportions are a depiction at a specific moment (as at the monetary record date) of an organization’s exhibition, and as such any surprising spikes or drops as of now might give a misleading translation of the organization’s presentation.
While utilizing proportions to benchmark different organizations, there is the gamble that the two organizations may not be carrying out similar procedures and consequently, ends drawn may not be exact, for instance an organization zeroing in on high client support and the other on a minimal expense system.
Another significant constraint is while utilizing proportions to make correlations between organizations which are carrying out various bookkeeping strategies.
Proportion investigation is a quantitative proportion of execution and as such doesn’t consider the subjective parts of an organization’s exhibition.
