Inside the Situation Room: The Theory and Practice of Crisis Decision-Making

Combining decades of diplomacy and world–renowned scholarship, Inside the Situation Room bridges the gap between politics and academia to illuminate how world leaders make decisions in times of crisis. For decades, people have sought to understand how and why decisions are made in times of crisis, but very few get the opportunity to witness leaders' decision–making process. The result has been a persistent disconnect between the theory and the practice of decision–making. Now, a former US Secretary of State has joined forces with a world–renowned scholar to bridge that gap, first in their ground–breaking class at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, and now in this audiobook. In Inside the Situation Room, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and Dr. Keren Yarhi–Milo bring together insights from more than a dozen leading policymakers and scholars so readers can experience a masterclass in global policy and crisis decision–making. This audiobook includes the psychology and mechanics of threat assessment, the role of advisors, the effects of group think and trust, real–life stories of diplomatic efforts and covert operations, how women have shaped decisions over peace and security, and the impact of public opinion. Inside the Situation Room offers an insider look at how decisions are actually made, what theoretical insights might be useful to current and future generations of leaders, and where research still needs to be done. This audiobook will serve as the first step toward a new standard engagement: more active, iterative collaboration among two communities—scholars and practitioners—who have a great deal to contribute and learn from one another.
