Abstract

Agents' world views bear a significant relation to foreign policy and international politics. The relevant agents may be seen as individuals or groups, and may comprise citizens, nongovernmental bodies in position of influence, or state decision makers. The contributors to this panel may focus on more or less formal manners of capturing and analyzing foreign policy beliefs, or elucidate the connections between opinion, deliberation, recommendation, and foreign policy. Cognitive and political stands are subject to modification, due to information flows or fundamental changes in the environment. Reflections on the interplay of information, human or technical intelligence, deception, belief revision, learning, and foreign policy will be much appreciated.
