  • Public Opinion and Foreign Policy ∗ John Peterson 1
    9 L a í t { 5 Ç 9 t h C t W t 1 US Democrats = the True Europeans? Public Opinion and Foreign Policy ∗ John Peterson 1 This paper, based on a ceremonial lecture, develops three main arguments. First, we know far more today about public opinion globally than we have ever known before. Second, foreign policy is becoming a less cloistered, elite- dominated arena of public policy. Third, all of this has implications for transatlantic relations. On most questions of values – including those which underpin US foreign policy – Americans are more alike than different from one another, and both exceptional and distinct from Europeans. On questions of policy, the real divide is often not between Europe and America, but between American Republicans and everybody else. One consequence of the polarisation of American society is that American Democrats share many views on policy that are ‘European’ in nature. Over the years, all of us who have studied European integration have learned a lot from Joseph Weiler of New York University. Over those same years, he has developed and kept close ties to the University of Edinburgh, mostly via the good offices of our highly-prized colleague Prof Drew Scott of the Europa Institute. A few years ago, I saw Weiler give a ceremonial lecture in Belfast. On that occasion, I felt that I learned a lot about what is appropriate at this sort of occasion. By way of introducing him, the person chairing in Belfast elected to read out a very long list of all of the academic institutions where Joseph had ever been affiliated.

Graf I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: ____________________________________________________________ Allison J. Graf, Student Date Approvals: ____________________________________________________________ Sheila Schwartz, Thesis Advisor Date ____________________________________________________________ Zee Edgell, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Bob Pope, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean, School of Graduate Studies & Research Date ABSTRACT ‘Dig a little deeper’ is the teasing mantra for opponents in the card game, Crazy Eights. You know Crazy Eights, don’t you? With the cards in your hand, you either match the number or suit of whatever card is face up on the pile, or you play an eight and call your own suit. When you don’t have a matching number, matching suit, or an eight, you have to rifle through the draw pile until you find one, adding the cards to your ever- growing hand. Meanwhile, the other participants chant, ‘dig a little deeper, dig a little deeper.’ And that brings me to the title of this story collection. I consider these stories an excavation of human behavior. Why do people act the way they do? I don’t profess to know the answers.
