Learning in Modern International Society: On the Cognitive Problem Solving Abilities of Political Actors (2008 edition.)

Claudia Hofmann engages in a theoretical modelling of international learning processes and the substantiation 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.
