Decision-Making as an Approach to the Study of International Politics

Abstract

T he authors want to express here their firm conviction that a field such as international politics is not just a hodge-podge of ideas that in the past for one reason or another have been shoved under the same tent. It is rather a set of empirical problems, meaningfully related and having very specific, researchable referents. These problems, regardless of their origin, must be analyzed with tools appropriate to the enterprise. To that end we have found it necessary to manufacture our own scheme of analysis by drawing heavily on the works and methods of scholars not normally consulted by political scientists. We have documented these sources in the hope that others may find them useful. We have had to employ words and concepts that may appear strange to the reader. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
