Summary/Abstract: This paper argues that, in view of the importance it attaches to the system, the unit-based and the cognitive factors in the inquiry of foreign policy behavior, and with a content oriented towards examining the foreign policies of a particular state or similar/different foreign policies of various states in time; Neoclassical Realism stands as a foreign policy theory with a remarkable explanatory potential, particularly in view of country analyses. Accordingly, in the context of Turkmenistan’s foreign policy, this paper provides an analysis of the roles, impact and reflections of the domestic factors composed of regime type, leadership, groups, autonomy, nationalism, small states as well as the grand strategies of small states, respectively; which have been mentioned in the theory concerned but have been left inadequately researched or not searched at all.
