Yet  this view is fundamentally flawed since the technical impossibility of  100 per cent verification opens the door to a host of complex issues and  questions regarding the process and its outcomes. Central among these  is the fact that those involved in any verification inspection process  must inevitably conduct their work in a space that falls well short of  absolute certainty. The lines between scientific enquiry and human  psychology can become blurred and outcomes have the potential to be  influenced by perceptions. \u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on extensive empirical evidence, the  authors explore the complex interplay between evidence-based judgements  and perceptions of intentions that frames the science of verification.  The book provides new insights into the role and influence of human  factors in the verification process, shedding light on this ‘blind spot’  of verification research. It is an invaluable resource for  practitioners, academics and students working in arms control and  disarmament.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-06-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319822341\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-40988-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 176\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47697134846092,"sku":"9783319822341","price":116.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319822341.jpg?v=1776778367","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319822341","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
