Review

'This book makes abundantly clear the sustained freshness of Snyder, Bruck and Sapin's path-breaking and dauntingly original work, which has long set the agenda for the systematic explanation of foreign policy decisions. Thevery thoughtful essays prepared for the present volume demonstrate dramatically the continued centrality of the issues Snyder and his associates raised more than 40 years ago. We ignore them only at great risk." --Charles F. Hermann, Texas A&M University

"Snyder, Bruck and Sapin's classic work is combined here with two insightful essays, which demonstrate not only its impact on and continuing relevance for the study of foreign policy decision making, but also point to thecurrent frontiers and emerging new directions in this rich research tradition. While the classic deserves to be read – reread – in its own right, the essays by Hudson and Chollet and Goldgeier underscore its importance." --Marijke Breuning, Truman State University

"Half a century ago, Snyder, Bruck, and Sapin urged us to open the "black box" of foreign policy decision making. Their sensible advice, as timely today as ever before, is well worth sharing with a new generation ofstudents and researchers." -- Steven W. Hook, Kent State University

"Snyder, Bruck, and Sapin's essay is deservedly recognized as a classic in international relations scholarship and its relevance for contemporary foreign policymaking, especially the discussion of information and communication, is impressive. The new accompanyingessays show how ideas and concepts first presented over forty years ago helped to shape a field of study, and even presaged some of thedebates that occupy us today. The book is ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses on American or comparative foreign policy." -- David Kinsella, Portland State University
