Why did the United States prefer bilateral alliances to multilateral ones in Asia after World War II? Why did China become "nice"--no more military coercion--in dealing with the pro-independence Taiwan President Chen Shuibian after 2000? Why did China compromise in the negotiation of the Chunxiao gas exploration in 2008 while Japan became provocative later in the Sino-Japanese disputes in the East China Sea? North Korea's nuclear behavior, U.S. alliance strategy, China's Taiwan policy, and Sino-Japanese territorial disputes are all important examples of seemingly irrational foreign policy decisions that have determined regional stability and Asian security. By examining major events in Asian security, this book investigates why and how leaders make risky and seemingly irrational decisions in international politics. The authors take the innovative step of integrating the neoclassical realist framework in political science and prospect theory in psychology. Their analysis suggests that political leaders are more likely to take risky actions when their vital interests and political legitimacy are seriously threatened. For each case, the authors first discuss the weaknesses of some of the prevailing arguments, mainly from rationalist and constructivist theorizing, and then offer an alternative explanation based on their political legitimacy-prospect theory model. This pioneering book tests and expands prospect theory to the study of Asian security and challenges traditional, expected-utility-based, rationalist theories of foreign policy behavior"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000909449 650_0 $$aNational security$$zEast Asia$$xDecision making. 000909449 650_0 $$aRisk management$$zEast Asia. 000909449 651_0 $$aEast Asia$$xForeign relations$$xDecision making. 000909449 651_0 $$aEast Asia$$xStrategic aspects. 000909449 7001_ $$aFeng, Huiyun,$$d1971- 000909449 830_0 $$aForeign policy analysis (Routledge (Firm)) 000909449 852__ $$bebk 000909449 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1114659$$zOnline Access 000909449 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:909449$$pGLOBAL_SET 000909449 980__ $$aEBOOK 000909449 980__ $$aBIB 000909449 982__ $$aEbook 000909449 983__ $$aOnline
