Summary:

Current Events/Political Science/International Affairs

Rarely has a foreign policy event spawned such interest in global public opinion as the Iraq War. In this volume, leading international scholars debate the role of public opinion in decisions by democratic countries to participate-or not-in the "Coalition of the Willing." These searching inquiries address the question of what this controversial war tells us about the influence of public opinion on foreign policymakers around the world. Book jacket.
