I think "Why Hawks Win" (co-written with the Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman) has been hyped to death on the IR and IR-related blogs. Some interesting thoughts, but the piece seems to have some notable flaws too. That said, it got me to check out what else young Renshon has written and "The Psychological Origins of Preventive War" (coming out this year in Understanding the Bush Doctrine: Psychology and Strategy in an Age of Terrorism, a Praeger book edited by Stanley Renshon and Peter Suedfeld) is much more interesting. Good stuff - particularly from a guy who's still in the first year of his Ph.D. program.
