I am actually studying the current economic performance of Yemen amidst the several conflicts and if possible to connect to its foreign policies with international community as part of the contributing factor. So, in this regards, I need a variable to proxy the country's foreign policy. Your contributions are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks
Edmund Ntom Udemba I don’t think you will be able to find a single variable to cover foreign policy in your economic model for Yemen. Each aspect of foreign policy including imports and exports, trade agreements, political allies etc. would have to be treated separately.
In the future, I hope that the enhanced global economic system will assist countries such as Yemen that have been affected by war:

Dear Richard Lewis, I appreciate your response to my question. Thank you very much.
يفترض استخدام الطرق الدبلوماسية لتوحيد الجهود وايقاف الحرب ليعود اليمن ويتعافى ويلعب دوره البارز في السيطرة على الملاحة في البحر العربي لما له من اهمية بالغة على اقتصاد اليمن
A country's foreign policy consist of two variables i.e., internal and external variables with furthermore factors covering it. In my point of view, all these factors directly or indirectly depends on each other. So no single variable can proxy a country's foreign policy. It is a combined process.
