Oil in the Gulf: Obstacles to Democracy and Development
What the Axis of Evil Metaphor Did to Iran
This article focuses on the Axis of Evil metaphor that was used by President George W. Bush in his State of the Union Address in 2002 to represent Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. After describing "axis" as a metonym for fascism and Nazism, and "evil" as a metonym for Satanic forces that implies an alliance of Iran, Iraq, and North Korea that is collectively responsible for evil deeds, the authors analyze the impact of this metaphor on Iranian self-i…

Attribution Theory and Arab Images of the Gulf War
This article describes the results of an in-depth interview study of Arab elites in the wake of the Gulf war, research that only partially supports a crucial finding of research on actor-observer differences in social attribution. Although the aggregated explanations of these Arab respondents were consistent with the predictions of the theory, the attributions of Iraq's behavior by Egyptian elites, and attributions of the Coalition's behavior by …
A Discursive Practices Approach to Collective Decision-Making
Using a discursive frame of meaning, Coleman's notions of the power and interests of actors in a collective decision-making process are reoriented to emphasize the power of competing understandings of a policy situation. The contribution of actors to the collective decision-making process has an impact through their association with various idea elements or discursive practices which comprise their cognitive maps. The performance of a computer si…
Decision-Making in the Face of Uncertainty: Attributions of Norwegian and American Officials
Recent research suggests that when decision-makers are confronted with uncertainty they are more likely to engage in simple-minded thinking, such as the judgmental heuristics that have been studied by attribution theorists. In this article we examine how foreign policy decision-makers in Norway and the United States struggled with the uncertainties that surrounded a series of incidents in northern Norway involving Soviet ships. The analysis of co…

A Cognitive Model of Decision-making: Application to Norwegian Oil Policy
This article attempts to increase our understanding of cognitive processes of policy- making by reporting the application of a model of individual decision-making. The application of the model is based on cognitive maps obtained from interviews which were conducted with Norwegian oil policy officials before and after the Bravo blow out in Norway's Ekofisk oil field. A comparison of simulation results for two groups of policy officials, environmen…
Psychological Constraints on Decision-making. A Discussion of Cognitive Approaches: Operational Code and Cognitive Map
The Operational Code and the Cognitive Map approaches focus on the thought pro cesses of the individual. Differences emerge m the operationalization of concepts from cognitive theory such as 'centrality' and 'consistency', and in the conceptualization of the dependent variable. In the research procedures the Cognitive Map approach builds into its model assumptions which are more subject for investigation in the Operational Code approach. The arti…
Israeli Elite Perceptions of the Arab-Israeli Conflict
Israeli Elite Perceptions of the Arab-Israeli Conflict
In March 1972 I conducted a series of interviews with Israeli elite groups with the aim of clarifying their perceptions of the Middle East conflict. The following article is an attempt to make an objective summary of what I was told in these interviews. I have consequently made no comments on the views expressed here, all of which are solely those of the personalities interviewed. I made no attempt at the time to interview in a systematic manner …
A Profile of the Palestine Guerrillas
The objectives and strategy of the Palestine guerrilla movement as well as the im mediate problems faced by it are analysed. It is concluded that future development will depend on the internal evolution of the guerrilla movement which is confronted with serious internal power struggles. Developments will also be determined by the future pattern of politics among the Arab States. The Arab world including the Pales tinians themselves is divided ove…
Arab Demands and Desires in the Conflict with the State of Israel
This study, which is based on a series of interviews conducted in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon in March–April 1970, focuses on Arab attitudes towards a negotiated settlement with the state of Israel. The Arab world, it appears, is divided into those who want to liberate Palestine while rejecting negotiations, and those whose main concern is to liberate the territories occupied in the 1967 war, viewing negotiations as useful to this end. With…
Norwegian Policy in the Middle East Crisis of I967
The article discusses motives behind the Norwegian refusal to sign the British proposal for a declaration claiming that Nasser's closing of the Gulf of Aqaba on 22 May 1967 was illegal. A signing of the declaration would have implied a non-neutral stand in the conflict. It is concluded that the case selected indicates a general Norwegian neutralist attitude when armed conflicts between Israel and the Arab countries occur, and that this policy is …
