This book discusses practical suggestions to help disarmament practitioners recognize and harness cognitive diversity. Drawing upon research from domains such as behavioral economics, cognitive and evolutionary psychology, decision modeling and complexity, the authors explore the kinds of intuitions and perceptions affecting how multilateral practitioners frame disarmament problems and interact in multilateral negotiations. They explain that people's cognitive constraints and the issues and environments with which they are expected to cope can affect their chances of success - quite aside from factors such as 'political will.'
