The Behavioral Persuasion and Decision-Making Approaches to International Organization

There are few words more prevalent in the modern study of politics than decision, influence, and process. The accent has been on the fluidity of the political order and the definition of both influence and decision in terms of an ongoing social process. In the words of Harold Lasswell, "political analysis is the study of changes in the shape and composition of the value patterns of society. . . . Less formally expressed, politics is the study of who gets what, when, and how." 1 Indeed, the well-known definition of politics in terms of "the shaping and sharing of politics" is by its very nature pluralistic and procedural in character.2 By contrast, the classical Greek study of politics sought to define the essential character of a whole regime by reference to its dominant ends. Political operations and change were then examined in terms of the manner in which they were directed to these ends. Underlying this classical approach was a general concern for determining that which is proper for man.3 Unlike Lasswell, who treats a "political act . . . [as] one performed in power perspectives," 4 the ancient Greeks defined the political act in an ethical perspective.
