How Do Leaders Make Decisions? cover

Understanding how leaders make foreign policy and national security decisions is of paramount importance for the policy community and academia. This book explores how leaders such as Trump, Obama, Netanyahu and others make decisions using the Applied Decision Analysis (ADA) method. 
The chapters gathered here analyse the decisions made by key political figures around the world, past and present, in order to shed light on how these decisions are made and what policy implications they have for their own and other nations. Several chapters also focus on military decision making, including around pivotal times in history including the second world war and the evolution of nuclear warfare.

The studies here use Applied Decision Analysis as a systematic approach to understanding leadership characteristics of US presidents and other political leaders. They cover the decision calculus of Donald Trump, Barack Obama's foreign policy decision calculus, the decision calculus of Benjamin Netanyahu, the decision calculus of Winston Churchill, leaders' decision calculi on nuclear armament and disarmament, and the influence of military background in Israel leaders' national security decision making. -- Copyright 2019 * Portland, OR *
