Abstract :While becoming a member of international community on the one side, and insisting on preserving values and norms of Hobbesian culture on the other side, sovereigns face an intricate dilemma from within domestic inhibitions in conducting integration with the norms from outside. Dichotomy in interest formation with respect to foreign policy relations with the others reveals the fact that no mature international collective identity is possible since there already exists a serious problem, or paradox, in identity formulation from within, considering the complex interdependence feature of globalization and sub-nation identity in contradiction with state identity within the Westphalian territory. The underlying cause of problems in Lockean interest formation in foreign policy is the polarizing domination of Hobbesian culture in domestic politics. Holding constant the unit of analysis as state, interest and identity are the dependable variables, the interaction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(socialization); is independent variable in this article. Theoretically, such a strong argument based upon Wendt’s approach to the relations of behavior, interest and identity in respective; States organize their actions by some interests defined by their identity. No roles, or any failure in conceptualizing their role identity, may well result in both relatively challenging situations for states while defining any political matter in the context of interest and confusion in their corporate identity formation in return.
