Implicit in chapter 2 is the assumption that the psychological approach to foreign policy analysis popularized by scholars like Robert Jervis, Ole Holsti and Alexander George explains the behaviour of human beings in a decision-making context, not merely that of decision-makers in the United States. Yet most case study analyses which employ a foreign policy decision-making approach have examined their case materials as they were viewed from the American perspective and as the issues were confronted by American decision-makers. The Cuban missile crisis has been exhaustively analysed from the perspective of John Kennedy and the ExComm, for example. The decisions of Third World states, on the other hand, are rarely viewed through cognitive psychological lenses, and there is even a paucity of theoretically driven studies of British foreign policy.
