The Impact of Personal Security Dispositions on Citizen Support for the Pursuit of Gender Equality in US Foreign Policy
Since 1995, presidents from both parties have increased US government initiatives in pursuit of global gender equality, but there has been little scholarly work that explores public support for these initiatives. We analyze the level of citizen support for several types of global gender equality programs. In addition, we explore support for one specific rationale for the policy –the argument that the participation of women in decision-making will…
Socialized to Safety? The Origins of Gender Difference in Personal Security Dispositions
What factors influence an individual's concern for personal security and safety? Prior research shows that women exhibit higher levels of fear, anxiety, and perceived threat. These differences in threat perceptions have important policy consequences, including the fact that women display lower support for military interventions, lower support for retaliation against terrorist groups, and lower levels of support for using torture. However, previou…
Citizen support for the pursuit of gender equality in US foreign policy
We ask two questions in this article: First, what is the level of public support for the pursuit of gender equality in foreign policy? Second, what are the most significant correlates of that support? We report the results of the first national opinion survey that queried citizens about their support for policies to increase global gender equality. We find that an average of 60 to 90 percent approve of pursuing gender equality and specific progra…
The Acceptability of War and Support for Defense Spending: Evidence from Fourteen Democracies, 2004–2013
We study the factors that influence citizen support for defense spending in fourteen democracies over the period 2004–2013. We pose two research questions. First, what factors influence citizen support for war and military force? We refer to this as the acceptability of war. Second, in addition to the acceptability of war, what other factors affect support for defense spending? Our principal finding is that citizen acceptance of war and support f…
Gender Difference in American Public Opinion on the Use of Military Force, 1982–2013
Recent scholarship indicates that gender correlates strongly with Americans' attitudes toward the use of military force. However, most of its evidence derives from the study of major wars, and the field needs more historical research to evaluate the evolution of gender difference over time. I redress these limitations by updating and extending my earlier (2003) analysis of public support for the use of force during the 1990s. I analyze 965 indivi…
Gender Difference or Parallel Publics? The Dynamics of Defense Spending Opinions in the United States, 1965–2007
Gender is now recognized as an important dividing line in American political life, and scholars have accumulated evidence that national security issues are an important reason for gender differences in policy preferences. We therefore expect that the dynamics of support for defense spending among men and women will differ. In contrast, several scholars have shown that population subgroups exhibit a “parallel” dynamic in which the evolution of the…
Post-Maastricht Blues: The Transformation of Citizen Support for European Integration, 1973–2004
War President: The Approval Ratings of George W. Bush
The authors estimate a model of the job approval ratings of President George W. Bush that includes five sets of variables: a “honeymoon” effect, an autoregressive function that tracks a decline in approval, measures of economic performance, measures of important “rally events,” and a measure of the costs of war—in this case, the U.S. death toll in the Iraq War. Several significant effects are found, including the rally that followed the attacks o…
Victory Has Many Friends: U.S. Public Opinion and the Use of Military Force, 1981–2005
Although previous studies have examined U.S. public support for the use of military force in particular historical cases, and have even made limited comparisons among cases, a full comparison of a large number of historical episodes in which the United States contemplated, threatened, or actually used military force has been missing. An analysis of U.S. public support for the use of military force in twenty-two historical episodes from the early …

Representing Defense: Democratic Control of the Defense Budget in the United States and Western Europe
There is nowsubstantial evidence that defense spending decisions in the United States are influenced by citizen preferences. However, there is little time-series evidence for countries other than the United States. Regression models of citizen responsiveness and opinion representation in the politics of defense spending in five democracies are estimated. Results showthat public opinion in all five countries is systematically responsive to recent …

Europeans and the European Community: The dynamics of public support for European integration
Europeans evaluate the European Community (EC) according to its economic performance, political salience, and role in international relations. During the last two decades their measured attitudes toward European integration warmed especially when inflation rates fell, as the EC share of the country's trade expanded, when EC elections and referenda increased attention to the community, and to some extend during periods when East-West relations wer…

The Myth of Hollanditis
Recent events in the Netherlands have given unexpected satisfaction to the aspiration to be biggest of the small among members of the NATO Alliance. In fact, popular questioning of security policy has led some observers to diagnose a Dutch disease-Hollanditis-to describe a variety of neutralist and pacifist symptoms evident in Western Europe.1 Moreover, the fact that the are one of two eventual recipient countries to have delayed final approval o…
The Illusion of Choice: Defense and Welfare in Advanced Industrial Democracies, 1948-1978
Research on the tendency of governments to trade off welfare spending for defense has generated diverse and often contradictory findings. This study attempts to clarify the issue of trade-offs by examining expenditure patterns since 1948 for the four major NA TO allies: United States, United Kingdom, Federal Republic of Germany, and France. When viewed from the perspective of long-term trends in shares of outlays, trade-offs are evident. When sho…
Guns, Butter, and Growth: Expenditure Patterns in Four Advanced Democracies
This paper reports results of research on the so-called “guns/butter” question. Using multiple regression techniques, we estimate the relationship between military and social spending for the United States (1929-72), France (1920-1973), West Germany (1950-1969), and the United Kingdom (1920-1976). Reasoning from theories of budgeting, the controllability of social expenditures, and the effects of economic conditions on government resource allocat…
