內容介紹
這是第二次世界大戰後最有影響力的政治學著作之一。《決策的本質》原作以獨特的視角審視了冷戰時期的關鍵事件。此經典著作的第二版不僅僅是修訂，更是重寫：重新解釋了古巴飛彈危機前後的理論及事件；也融入了甘迺迪錄音帶及最近解密的蘇聯檔案的信息。第二版提煉了原著中格雷厄姆·阿利森任美國助理國防部長及哈佛大學甘迺迪政府學院院長時期的一些評論和觀點。同時也有一位新的作者菲利普·澤利科參與了第二版的撰寫，他著有十分暢銷的評論著作《甘迺迪錄音帶》(The Kennedy Tapes，Harvard University Press，1 997)。 《決策的本質》(第二版)鮮活地展現了重壓之下的決策過程，此書也是唯一一部嘗試解決這一經久不衰的問題的著作：人們如何理解政府的舉動?
