Abstract
The preceding chapters have demonstrated the usefulness of the poliheuristic theory (PH) in explaining foreign policy decisions. The theory integrates elements of cognitive political psychology (e.g., Stein and Welch 1997) with the insights provided by rational analysis of decision making (e.g., Bueno de Mesquita 1981; Bueno de Mesquita and Lalman 1992).
