Political Beliefs and Global Governance

This chapter examines the implications of political theories on global governance, specifically the resilience of liberal democracy amid rising populism and authoritarianism. It also addresses how personal beliefs and emotional commitments influence political judgments, using the Iraq War as a case study for cognitive dissonance and the challenges of belief change. The discussion further delves into the phenomenon of overconfidence in decision-making and its impact on the perception of performance across various sectors.
