The first book to explore systematically and comprehensively the
influence and utility of irrationality in international relations,
this study begins with an intensive exploration of the nature of
irrationality. The author proceeds to examine twelve case studies
in which irrationality has figured prominently in international
confrontations. Among these conflicts are featured the Poland
Solidarity crisis, the Soviet natural gas pipleline controversy,
American invlovement in Nicaragua, the Grenada invasion, the
Iranian seizure of American hostages, the Iran-Iraq war, the Libyan
embassy incident, and the Falkland Islands war, among others.
Finally, the work assesses patterns which emerge throughout the
case studies and generates policy perceptions for applying or
resisting irrationality, suggesting as well, the global
consequences of proliferating irrationality in the international
political arena.
