Public opinion and twentieth-century diplomacy: a global perspective

Hucker, Daniel

Authors



Abstract

Public Opinion and 20th-Century Diplomacy explores both the influence of public opinion on diplomatic decision making in international history, and its emergence as a legitimate field of study for international historians.

The book uses five case studies to examine the impact of public opinion on the "high" politics of diplomacy. Incorporating a variety of methodological approaches, the book looks at:
-British policy at the Paris Peace Conference
-French policy in the era of 1930s appeasement
-Policy choices of the US during the Vietnam War
-Global responses to apartheid-era South Africa
-Public attitudes across the EU regarding European integration

This book demonstrates the vibrancy of public opinion research to date and the possibilities for future lines of study.
