Flawed Strategy

Viac o knihe

Flawed decision-making among leaders like Zelensky, Chamberlain, and Israeli elites stemmed from a misunderstanding of their adversaries' values and beliefs, which shaped their strategies. Beatrice Heuser explores how biases, irrationality, bureaucratic politics, and complex government structures complicate strategy-making. The book argues that viewing opponents as 'rational actors' can lead to severe miscalculations and disastrous outcomes, emphasizing the importance of recognizing differing perspectives in international relations.
