- Summary:
-
Andrew Farkas presents an evolutionary theory of how states adjust their foreign policies in response to international changes. Employing both formal models and computer simulations, Farkas explores the relative efficacy of a wide range of alternative strategies for dealing with unanticipated changes in the international environment. In State Learning and International Change, the author's approach goes a long way toward joining the insights produced by rational-choice modeling with the ideas developed in psychological studies of decision making. This book will be of interest to scholars of international relations, learning models, and group processes.
