The objectives of this book are twofold. First, it provides an
accessible introduction to the vast literature dedicated to the
study of public opinion. Examining how its influence on diplomacy
has been increasingly acknowledged, the book will show how public
opinion has been embraced as a legitimate subject for scrutiny by
international historians. Second, the book explores five case
studies, looking at the role of public opinion in shaping British
policy at the Paris Peace Conference, French policy in the era of
1930s appeasement, the policy choices of the United States during
the Vietnam War, global responses to apartheid-era South Africa,
and public attitudes across the EU regarding European integration.
This closer examination incorporates different methodological
approaches - old and new - to the complex task of ascertaining the
impact of public opinion on the 'high' politics of diplomacy. The
book thus provides students and scholars alike with a 'state of the
field' overview, demonstrating both the vibrancy of public opinion
research to date and the possibilities for exciting new directions
in the future.
