The book examines decision-making as a contingent form of social action that takes multiple forms in different cultural contexts and is subject to historical change. Case studies ranging from medieval Europe to present-day India address the multifaceted aspects of cultures of decision-making. These include narratives and practices as well as resources and their use in processes of decision-making. Furthermore, several chapters discuss various approaches to analyzing decision-making in a historical-cultural perspective. Taken together, the contributions to this book demonstrate the potential of an approach that conceives decision-making as a historically variable social practice and a culturally diverse phenomenon.
