The difference among domestic and foreign policy refers to the dimension of the issue being addressed: While Domestic politics concerns on issues such as the taxation in the US, raising the literacy level among Minorities, etc.,
-The scope of a domestic policy lies within a country, and address public or private issues on an internal scale. Some of these issues can have an international dimension or a common origin, however, for the state, they are treated as internal and in turn a public policy is designed in order to target a determinate way of tackling them.
-In Foreign policy the scope targets problems seen external to the state:
The war on Irak, the peace agreements in the Middle East, the position of the US in Global warming, etc. The foreign issues enable the working together and building of networks in multilateral organizations. As these issues tend to be larger and affect several regions they set an international agenda in institutions like The United Nations, The World Fund for Development.etc.
