Current Research:
Jervis is working on a number of projects dealing with the impact of the Cold War on American and Soviet societies, the challenges of deterrence under the new circumstances, and, in connection with having received the Lasswell Award for Lifetime Achievement from the International Society for Political Psychology, a paper on political psychology and the nature of beliefs. His long-run project is a book on signaling and perception in politics, bringing together two subjects which, while logically tightly linked, have been studied quite separately in the past.
