| Summary: | There are two dominant approaches to political decision making in general and foreign policy decision making in particular: rational choice and cognitive psychology. The essays here introduce and test the poliheuristic theory of decision making that integrates elements of both schools.

The collection focuses on both elements of the theory itself and also looks at how the theory can be used to better understand political decisions that were made in the past |
