What is political judgement? Why do politicians exhibit such
contrasting thought styles in making decisions, even when they
agree ideologically? What happens when governments with contrasting
thought styles have to deal with each other? In this book Perri 6
presents a fresh, rigorous explanatory theory of judgement, its
varieties and its consequences, drawing upon Durkheim and Douglas.
He argues that policy makers will understand - and misunderstand -
their problems and choices in ways that reproduce their own social
organisation. This theory is developed by using the Cuban Missile
Crisis of 1962 as an extended case study, examining the
decision-making of the Kennedy, Castro and Khrushchev regimes.
Explaining Political Judgement is the first comprehensive study to
show what a neo-Durkheimian institutional approach can offer to
political science and to the social sciences generally.
