As the field of political psychology has grown, so has the study
of foreign policy behavior and motivation. This collection of
essays offers the metaphor of drama to pull together the conceptual
and behavioral elements of current concepts in the field. The
volume uses a common political framework to examine the impact of
perceptual changes resulting from the end of the Cold War on the
organization and interpretation of international issues. Exploring
trends in the superpowers, Europe, Africa and Asia, and examining
issues ranging from security to political and human rights matters,
the analyses point out a number of trends in policy and strategy
that are associated with patterns of perceptual change.
In general these essays take a more pessimistic view of
post-Cold War policy trends than one finds in the field at the
moment. The articles examine the confusion and potential for
continued international conflict that result from the end of the
Cold War and they argue that cooperation in international politics
in not an inevitable outcome of the new relationship between the
United States and the Soviet Union. They argue that there is much
greater opportunity for new directions in conflict resolution but
that without careful attention to the reformulation of perceptions
and policy, those opportunities could be lost.
