Abstract enThis study is about the relationship between regime security and Tunisian foreign policy. State-level approaches to explaining foreign policy behavior of states claim to explain foreign policy behavior with internal variables. One of the approaches at the state level is about the effect of regime security on foreign policy. According to this approach, states perceive the threats to regime security as the primary threat and try to balance these threats with foreign policy instruments. The study uses Tunisian foreign policy case study to test this argument. In case study, the structure and operation of the Tunisian regime, the development of the Tunisian Islamic movement, perceived as a threat to regime security, and foreign policy behaviours are examined. The study concludes that the case confirms that regime security is effective on Tunisia's foreign policy making.
