Perception and Misperception in International Politics

This book demonstrates that decision-makers' perceptions of the world and of other actors diverge from reality in patterns that we can detect and for reasons that we can comprehend. Drawing on a wide range of historical cases, Robert Jervis shows how this knowledge can be used not only to explain specific decisions but also to account for patterns of interaction and to improve our understanding of international relations.Jervis, Robert is the author of 'Perception and Misperception in International Politics' with ISBN 9780691056562 and ISBN 0691056560.
