Abstract
How conflictual realities on international boundaries are perceived and analyzed is the subject of this paper. Two techniques for evaluating conflict, belief systems and rational choice are contrasted. Quickness of evaluation is imagined as a value maximized, if possible. International relations realities are presented as ranging from the quick evaluation of Sarajevo in 1914 and subsequent forming of alliances to ordinary border conflicts. The conflict realities found in border conflict are deemed adequate for this paper’s logical rational analysis. Decision making conditions are presented as changing as a result of the rise of the service sector, the information economy, Internet, social networking, and Internet personalities. Perception strengths are increasing as social networking improves emotional intelligence. The realities from the present U.S. - Canada border closure are considered as exemplifying border conflicts. Likewise, conflictual possibilities in the closure of borders in the Schengen countries are included in the paper’s analysis. This research question confronts multidimensional concepts. Assumptions about when belief systems and rational choice are decision making tools are discussed. Belief systems are assume to offer quick decisions. Rational choice decisions are more likely used with complicated problems. If quickness is the prized virtue, belief systems are thought to be advantageous to rational choice. IT and social networking are presented as having an affect on which decision technique is chosen.While the research problem is difficult, qualitative methods offers genuine possibilities because of the strength of narrative analysis. An image narrative of the U.S. - Canadian border closure and the Schengen border closures is devised using theoretical sampling. As issues emerged and became better defined, resampling occurred in this research. The resulting data in vivid images is thought to be well connected to montage. The imaging process that went into each image significantly increases the data stored in each image. The various images in the sample when analyzed are analogous to listening to a focus group about the research subject. A more structured analysis of the image data is possible with a cognitive mapping variant. Images are first coded according to how possibly conflictual they are. Next an attempt is made to project if they are likely reasoned with belief systems or rational choice.The results are concerned that Internet and social networking possibly biases choice between belief systems and rational choice. The amount of information being produced by ever more sophisticated imaging techniques is found to be a significant variable. The two image narratives this research devised ask if increased information is more frequently preferencing rational choice techniques. Rational choice’s production of many options need be included among changing decision conditions. There is a need to develop abilities to accept changing conditions in both perception and how conflictual realities are evaluated.
