Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the relationship
between public opinion and foreign policy in Western democracies.
This international board of contributors examine the ways in which
the connection between public opinion and the use of military force
has developed since the end of the Cold War. In doing so, it also
addresses the crucial and topical question of whether, and to what
extent a democratic foreign policy is possible.

Does public opinion matter in international conflict resolution?
Does national foreign policy remain independent of public opinion
and the media? International Public Opinion and the Bosnia Crisis
examines, through U.S., Canadian, and European case studies, how
public reaction impacted democratic governments' response to the
ethnic and religious conflict in Bosnia during the period from
1991-1997. Each case study offers an overview of the national media
coverage and public reaction to the war in the former Yugoslavia
and examines the links between public opinion and political and
military intervention in Bosnia. The result is a comprehensive
evaluation of the complex relationship between public opinion,
media coverage, and foreign policy decision-making.

No longer preoccupied with the East-West divide, contemporary
foreign policymakers now have to confront regional conflicts,
peace-enforcing and humanitarian missions, and a host of other
global problems and issues in areas such as trade, health, and the
environment. During the Cold War a widely-shared consensus on
national interest and security in the United States and western
Europe affected news reporting, public opinion, and foreign policy.
But with the end of this Cold War frame of reference, foreign
policy making has changed. As we enter the new century, the
question is how and to what extent will the new realities of the
post-Cold War world_as well as advances in communication
technology_influence news reporting, public attitudes, and, most of
all, foreign policy decisions on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
In this volume, American and European scholars examine change and
continuity in these important aspects of the foreign policy process
at the beginning of the 21st century.
