The goal of this project is to investigate the decision-making process in order to help understand the method by which political leaders manage complexity and uncertainty. Decision-making may be thought of as the evaluation of a decision with the absence of procedures or principles that generate or dictate a 'right' answer in order to reduce complexities and uncertainty. Several steps are taken as part of the rational decision-making process. Some of these steps include exchanging values for another as well as combining prior values to current indications in order to gain a better understanding of the after-the-fact possibilities. This project will explore the rational decision-making process by applying the rational-choice theory in order to better understand the decisions that led to the recent regime-change in Iraq. The Rational-Choice Theory provides a normative framework whereby one can analyze the various consequences of judgments made without necessarily minimizing subjective uncertainties.
