[Translator Signed Book] Robert Jervis, "Perception and Misperception in International Politics" (translated by Daiki Abe)

This is an autographed copy by the translator.

Why do misperceptions occur, and what are their consequences?
What cognitive errors arise when making foreign policy decisions?
How are belief systems regarding politics and impressions of others formed and altered?
How do policymakers draw conclusions from the information at hand, especially when faced with information that contradicts their own views?

This important work delves into major issues that have not been sufficiently discussed among experts in international relations and psychology, analyzing the determinants of war and foreign policy, focusing on "policymakers." Since its first publication in 1976, this book has been continuously read as a fundamental text in various fields and has been cited in official documents of governments worldwide. In the new edition published in 2017, the author added an extensive preface, detailing recent cases and research trends.
Here, we present the Japanese translation of the new edition of this research book, which has had a significant impact for half a century. Commentary by Akira Yamada (from the publisher's website)
