Thinking Fast and Slow: Provocations and International Conflict

Open to the Public

Speakers: Hyun-Binn Cho, Assistant Professor in Political Science and International Studies, The College of New Jersey; Associate, Project on Managing the Atom; Alex Yu-Ting Lin, Research Fellow, International Security Program

Verbal threats between President Trump and Kim Jong Un, the killing of an Iranian general by a U.S. drone strike, and maritime clashes in the South China Sea have all led to concerns about "provocations" resulting in unwanted conflict. This seminar explores how individuals react to foreign provocations depending on how they process information. By doing so, it offers new insights into the links between provocation and international conflict.
