This book focuses on foreign policy decision-making from the
viewpoint of psychology. Psychology is always present in human
decision-making, constituted by its structural determinants but
also playing its own agency-level constitutive and causal roles,
and therefore it should be taken into account in any analysis of
foreign policy decisions. The book analyses a wide variety of
prominent psychological approaches, such as bounded rationality,
prospect theory, belief systems, cognitive biases, emotions,
personality theories and trust to the study of foreign policy,
identifying their achievements and added value as well as their
limitations from a comparative perspective. Understanding how
leaders in world politics act requires us to consider recent
advances in neuroscience, psychology and behavioral economics. As a
whole, the book aims at better integrating various psychological
theories into the study of international relations and foreign
policy analysis, as partial explanations themselves but also as
facets of more comprehensive theories. It also discusses practical
lessons that the psychological approaches offer since ignoring
psychology can be costly: decision-makers need to be able reflect
on their own decision-making process as well as the perspectives of
the others. Paying attention to the psychological factors in
international relations is necessary for better understanding the
microfoundations upon which such agency is based.
