Neuroeconomics and international studies: a new understanding of trust / Zak, Paul J; Kugler, Jacek   Journal Article
Kugler, Jacek Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Nearly all political choices depend on trust-or a lack thereof. In world politics, successful negotiations, arms agreements, and deterrence postures all depend on trust. This paper reviews recent findings in neuroeconomics that have identified the neuroactive hormone oxytocin as a key brain mechanism that causes people to trust strangers. This research has also identified the physiologic and behavioral effect of distrust. A neurologically informed formal model of trust is introduced and implications are drawn from it for international studies (IS). We contend that findings in neuroscience and neuroeconomics can be used by social scientists to deepen their understanding of processes such as foreign policy decision making.

James, Patrick Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This symposium focuses on application of an integrated approach toward bringing together insights from respective disciplines and interdisciplinary fields to move International Studies (IS) forward. History and psychology, disciplines with an established connection to IS, are explored. Interdisciplinary fields with limited linkages to IS, referring to technology studies and neuroeconomics, also are probed for potential contributions. The introductory essay summarizes how contributions from the preceding disciplines and interdisciplinary fields are identified by the symposium's essays within an integrated approach.
