Citizen and Elite Perceptions of Corruption
Previous articles have analyzed the relationships between standardized measures of corruption and mean perceptions of corruption in various nations (Rusciano, F.

Global Rage after the Cold War
World Opinion and the Northern Ireland Peace Process
This book uniquely combines global opinion theory with the English school of international relations to explain the effects of world opinion on the Northern Ireland peace process. It begins by analyzi
The ‘right to know vs knowing what’s right’
This article describes how ‘tabloid ethics’ have infiltrated and transformed traditional notions of journalistic objectivity and is divided into four parts.The first part describes the development of the ‘contract by convention’ for objective reporting from earlier modes of behavior during the period of partisan journalism. The second part describes the collapse of that contract due to market pressures caused by the rapid availability of news on …
Susan Ohmer. George Gallup in Hollywood
Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg once noted that the most important poll in the United States was the Nielsen ratings survey, because it measured public tastes on who Americans wished to “allow in their living rooms” each week. We have become so accustomed to political polling and audience research that the relationship between the two no longer surprises us. Susan Ohmer's engaging and intelligent book George Gallup in Hollywood shows us the ro…
How We Come to Be Who We Are
Creating a "usable" national identity in the post-Cold War era places extraordinary stress upon political systems. Observers once assumed that this process was a matter of choice, that citizens and leaders were the sole judges of the historical and cultural characteristics they would build into their perceptions of national consciousness.1 In the post-Cold War era, however, the additional burden of considering world opinion and international repu…
Introduction
The pandemic of global rage has its roots in the manner in which we construct identity. Although this book concentrates primarily upon national identity, the processes remain more or less the same for all levels of identification. Individual identity is constructed with an eye to the relevant reference groups in a person’s life: “Identity is a phenomenon that emerges from a dialectic between the individual and society.”1 Reference groups change d…
The Construction of National Identity—A 23-Nation Study
A theory has been advanced that the construction of national identity derives, in part, from a negotiation between a nation’s Selbstbild (or the nation’s national consciousness, or the image its citizens have of their country) and a nation ’s Fremdbild (or the nation’s perceived or actual international image in world opinion). This article tests the theory using survey data on 23 nations, from the International Social Survey. The project proceeds…
The Construction of National Identity
First- and Third-World Newspapers on World Opinion
This study of usages of the concept of "world opinion" in a sample of first and third world newspapers during the Cold War and post-Cold War eras proceeds in three steps First I separate the concept of world opinion into its component parts and compare the manner in which they were employed by region and historical era Second I factor analyze the concept's components within each of the comparative categories and describe the different ways in whi…
The Cooperator's Dilemma. Mark Irving Lichbach
The Impact of “World Opinion” on National Identity
This article examines the construction of national identity, considered as a negotiation between a nation's Selbstbild (the image the nation's citizens or leaders have of themselves) and their Fremdbild (their image or reputation in world opinion). It argues that this theory helps explain the manner in which the New York Times and the People's Daily discuss world opinion on the Fourth International Women's Conference in Beijing
Rethinking the Gender Gap
Increased political awareness amongst previously quiescent groups in the population is a common explanation for electoral change. A recent American example concerns the appearance of a in voting in the 1980s, when men and women displayed consistently different partisan choices for the first time. Carroll surveys several election studies to derive four theoretical explanations for the gender gap.1 The vulnerability theory states that economic thre…
Isolation and Paradox

The Prisoners' Dilemma as an Extended Arrow Problem
The Prisoners' Dilemma as an Extended Arrow Problem
t is generally acknowledged that the two most significant problems in the choice literature are the Prisoners' dilemma (or PD) and Kenneth Arrow's General Possibility Theorem. However, amongst political scientists, the former has tended to garner most of the attention as a practical issue which potential or actual collectivities must overcome. The complexity of Arrow's problem, and the number of somewhat controversial conditions it places upon de…
Towards a Notion of ‘World Opinion
This paper presents a content analysis of the manner in which ‘world opinion’ is used in stories and editorials of two nations' major newspapers. The authors studied the International Herald Tribune and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for the months of February, March, and April 1986 for articles which contained implicit or explicit references to ‘world opinion’. These refernces were studied using a pre-designed survey instrument, which analyz…
