political decision making

چکیده

The decisions of a country’s top-level political leaders are often profoundly consequential; they can have implications for social order and justice, economic prosperity and growth, and war and peace. What do the decision processes of these leaders look like? How are problems identified? How are choices made? To address these questions is to confront a problem: analysts have only limited access to those they seek to analyze. Elite decision makers rarely submit to indepth interviewing by researchers. What information they do communicate may be distorted by the inaccuracies of memory, imperfect insight into their own thought processes and motives, and, not least, the desire to create a favorable impression. Memoirs and archival materials (memoranda, reports, and minutes of meetings) are not only subject to similar distortions, but also are never so complete as to fully identify who says what to whom with what intention and with what effect. Finally, even when the historical record is richly informative about particular episodes of elite decision making, one may wonder whether these episodes are representative of less well-documented ones.
