A Three-Dimensional Model of American Foreign Policy Beliefs
The authors employ a theoretic model that identifies three basic goals of foreign policy—identity, security, and prosperity. Many scholars limit themselves by using a two-dimensional model of foreign policy beliefs which ignores the goal of identity. This research note demonstrates that standard factor analysis of extant data on foreign policy goals over time consistently supports a three-dimensional model which gives prominence to the multilater…
Persistence and Change in Elite and Mass Attitudes toward U.S. Foreign Policy
Public opinion analysts have found it difficult to document the kind of attitude changes that they have expected to find since the Vietnam War. Is it possible that reorientations in belief have occurred, and we simply do not have a yardstick capable of measuring conceptual or cultural change? Using concepts from the literature on planned-change, the authors define gamma change as a change in state and demonstrate that gamma change in public attit…
The Structure of Elite Foreign Policy Beliefs
T he opinions and policy preferences of American elites play a unique role in the public opinion-foreign policy process (Almond 1950). They both structure public debate on foreign policy and influence the decisions of top foreign policy officials. Given the crucial role that these elites play in the opinion-policy process, it is not surprising that a lack of consensus among the elites on foreign policy since the Vietnam War has triggered special …

Measuring Change and Persistence in Human Affairs
There is a truism about applied research that an inadequate concept of change leads to diminished or misguided applied research. Hence this paper urges distinguishing kinds of change, distinctions which are suggested by experience and also are supported with evidence generated by exotic statistical and computational techniques in which we have been engaged. An immediate pay-off of making such distinctions is more definite reliance on existing res…
