Anotácia knihy

This book shows that foreign policy decision-making§is not as "cool-minded" as it is deemed to be. It§analyses how the lessons of history influence§decision-making and argues that, during crises, a§decision-maker''s affect (anger and fear) can bias him§towards straightforward responses of the fight or§flight type. This insight also prompts a fresh answer§to the question what analogies are likely to be§picked from the vast pool of historical events: a)§behaviourally straightforward analogies, with§forceful imagery and clear-cut affective§connotations; b) analogies that are already§established in the political discourse; c)§exceedingly grave analogies; d) many different§analogies with congruent inferences. Thus,§politicians tend to draw analogies that are§affectively salient (e.g. between Saddam Hussein and§Hitler) rather than factually accurate, and this§explains why such analogies are often farfetched. The§case on which the model is then tested is the U.S.§decision-making during 1st week of the Korean War.§This book will be especially interesting for scholars§and practitioners in the field of politics as well as§for everyone who wants to understand how emotions§influence decisions.
