Abstract:
|
We answer the following questions in this paper regarding U.S. presidents and foreign policy mistakes. What are foreign policy mistakes? What are the causes of foreign policy mistakes by U.S. presidents? How can foreign policy mistakes be avoided, mitigated, and corrected? We identify several types of mistakes of omission and commission in the exercise of power at the diagnostic and prescriptive stages of decision-making by various U.S. presidents. The causes of these foreign policy mistakes are deviations from a rational model of decision-making, due to a variety of individual, group, and organizational decision-making pathologies. The prescription that we recommend to cope with these pathologies is to follow an updated strategy of disjointed incrementalism specified by sequential game theory. |
