Narrativized Strategic Choice Hardback
by John P., Adjunct Professor, Maryland and Fellow at Center on Global Interests DeRosa
Part of the Peace and Security in the 21st Century series
Hardback
Description
In February 2019, Donald Trump announced the United States withdrew from the landmark Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia sparking worldwide concerns over the specter of a new nuclear arms race.
The rational actor and game theoretic models dominating international relations literature failed to predict or explain this strategic choice. Rationalist, normative, and materialist models of strategic choice saturate the study of international relations.
Scholars continue to expose the shortfalls in these approaches in explaining or predicting outcomes of strategic interactions.
This book advances a new model of strategic choice through a narrative lens.
This narrative turn reframes the logic to emphasize the propositions of motives, perceptions, preferences, and the reflexive interaction of strategic choices.
Case studies of American and Russian nuclear arms control treaties from the negotiations of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 1987 to the crisis of the American withdrawal from the INF Treaty in 2019 support building a theory of "narrativized" strategic choice.
