Robert Jervis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Jervis, the Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Affairs at Columbia University, is one of the most influential scholars of international relations. His work on perceptions and misperceptions revolutionized the study of foreign policy decision making. While Jervis has perhaps been best known for his two groundbreaking books in his early career, The Logic of Images in International Relations (Princeton, 1970), and Perception and Misperception in International Politics (Princeton, 1976), and one seminal article, "Cooperation under the Security Dilemma," (World Politics, Vol. 30, No.2, 1978), his most interesting book may be his System Effects: Complexity in Political and Social Life (Princeton, 1997). With System Effects, Jervis establishes himself as a formidable social scientist, rather than just a towering figure in the field of international politics. Many of his latest writings are about the Bush Doctrine, of which he is very critical.
