Abstract: It is widely believed that a country's foreign policy can influence the behavior of economic agents. We examine that extent to which political relationships between a bank's home country and a borrowing country affect the lending behavior of banks. Analysis of cooperative as well as conflictive events shows that banks consider mostly the former in their decision making process. The study points to a need for an interdisciplinary approach for explaining the international behavior of economic entities.© 1989 JIBS. Journal of International Business Studies (1989) 20, 349–359
