Van Belle provides the first systematic analysis of the effects
that press freedom has on the conduct of international politics.
The institutionalization of press freedoms within a state and the
free flow of information between the free presses of different
nations creates a foreign policy decision making environment that
systematically limits policy options, generates domestic political
imperatives, and provides specific benefits to a leader. This
shapes some aspects of foreign policy in a consistent and
empirically identifiable manner, most notably by limiting
international conflicts. When social-psychological propositions
regarding dehumanization and the acceptance of killing in war are
introduced to Van Belle's model, shared press freedom is shown to
provide a mechanism that prevents lethal conflicts. The effects of
press freedom on international conflict, particularly on hypotheses
related to escalating conflicts beyond the threshold of casualties,
are quite robust. However, Van Belle indicates there is no evidence
of a complimentary effect on cooperation. The combination of
findings from the empirical analyses suggest that the key to the
effects of press freedom center on the creation of images, such as
the dehumanized image of an enemy. A thoughtful analysis that
scholars and researchers of foreign policy and international
relations as well as journalism and mass communication will find
particularly useful.
