Description

A comprehensive examination of the rationality of foreign policy is presented in this book by John J. Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato. The authors argue that rational decisions in international politics are based on credible theories about how the world works and emerge from deliberative decision-making processes. They contend that most states are rational most of the time, even if they are not always successful. By examining the thought processes of world leaders, including those of George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin, Mearsheimer and Rosato shed light on how leaders think and how to make policy for dealing with other states.
