Learning in Modern International Society - On the Cognitive Problem Solving Abilities of Political Actors. Diss.

Claudia Hofmann engages in a theoretical modelling of international learning processes and thesubstantiation of this model through three cases from international politics. She answers two questions: How may international actors learn as a collective? And how may the lessons learned influence actor behaviour and problem solving processes? As a foundation for answering these questions she examines the nature of actor behaviour within a social international system and integrates the diffusion of norms and values among macro-level actors.
