Foreign relations is the management of relationships and dealings between two countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/foreign-relations )〕 Any results of foreign policy dealings and decisions can be considered foreign relations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/foreign%20relations )〕 ==Overview== The term foreign evolved during the mid-13th century CE from ''ferren, foreyne'' "out of doors," based on the Old French ''forain'' "outer, external, outdoor; remote" reflecting the sense of "not in one's own land" first attested in the late 14th century CE. Spelling in English was altered in the 17th century, perhaps by influence of the words ''reign'' and ''sovereign.'' Both words were associated at the time with the most common office of monarch that determined foreign policy, a set of diplomatic goals that seeks to outline how a country will interact with other countries of the world. The idea of long-term management of relationships followed the development of a professional diplomatic corps that managed diplomacy. Since 1711, the term diplomacy has been taken to mean the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of groups or nations. In the 18th century, due to extreme turbulence in European diplomacy and ongoing conflicts, the practice of diplomacy was often fragmented by the necessity to deal with isolated issues, termed "affairs." Therefore, while domestic management of such issues was termed civil affairs (peasant riots, treasury shortfalls, and court intrigues), the term foreign affairs was applied to the management of temporary issues outside the sovereign realm. This term remained in widespread use in the English-speaking states into the 20th century, and remains the name of departments in several states that manage foreign relations. Although originally intended to describe short term management of a specific concern, these departments now manage all day-to-day and long-term international relations among states.
