The author examines why policy makers commit themselves to polices that they do not have the capacity to deliver, and develops an alternative theoretical model to prospect theory in explaining risk taking behaviour based on the concept of overconfidence. The volume suggests that overconfident individuals exhibit risk seeking behaviour that contradicts the risk averse behaviour of individuals in the domain of gain, as predicted by prospect theory. Using a set of testable hypothesis deduced from the model, it presents an empirical investigation of the causes behind Turkish decision makers' unprecedented level of risk taking toward the uprising in Syria and the consequences of this policy. 000807029 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 25, 2017). 000807029 650_0 $$aInternational relations$$xDecision making. 000807029 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319526049$$z9783319526041$$w(OCoLC)966909872 000807029 830_0 $$aPalgrave pivot. 000807029 852__ $$bebk 000807029 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-52605-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000807029 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:807029$$pGLOBAL_SET 000807029 980__ $$aEBOOK 000807029 980__ $$aBIB 000807029 982__ $$aEbook 000807029 983__ $$aOnline 000807029 994__ $$a92$$bISE
