Conclusion

Abstract

This conclusion summarizes theoretical and empirical contributions of the Applied Decision Analysis (ADA) model to the academic discipline of decision-making in national security affairs, and outlines its policy implications. It demonstrates how the method makes it possible to offer a more informed diagnosis of the decision-making code of particular leaders and a prognosis of their prospective moves in peacetime, in crisis and in war in different ideological, cultural and structural settings. It demonstrates the method’s immediate relevance for the main endeavors of national security policy planning and execution – intelligence analysis, net-assessment and strategic planning.
