About this ebook
Compact Decisions explores how seemingly minor, rapidly-made political decisions can have profound and lasting impacts on history and politics.
It challenges the notion that grand strategies alone shape historical outcomes, arguing instead that the accumulation of short-sighted choices often plays a more crucial role.
For example, expedited legislative processes can unintentionally erode citizen rights, while quick-response foreign policy decisions can destabilize international relations.
The book uniquely focuses on the often-overlooked area of immediate responses and their long-term consequences, rather than long-term strategic planning.
It uses political science, historical analysis, and economic principles to analyze domestic policy and international relations case studies.
