In an age when world affairs are powerfully driven by
personality, politics require an understanding of what motivates
political leaders such as Hussein, Bush, Blair, and bin Laden.
Through exacting case studies and the careful sifting of evidence,
Jerrold Post and his team of contributors lay out an effective
system of at-a-distance evaluation. Observations from political
psychology, psycholinguistics and a range of other disciplines join
forces to produce comprehensive political and psychological
profiles, and a deeper understanding of the volatile influences of
personality on global affairs.
Even in this age of free-flowing global information, capital,
and people, sovereign states and boundaries remain the hallmark of
the international order -- a fact which is especially clear from
the events of September 11th and the War on Terrorism.
Jerrold M. Post, M.D., is Professor of Psychiatry, Political
Psychology, and International Affairs, and Director of the
Political Psychology Program at George Washington University. He is
the founder of the CIA's Center for the Analysis of Personality and
Political Behavior.
