Anti-Americanism is a sometime preoccupation, rather than a specific policy problem, within the U.S. government. There is ample evidence at popular levels, where polls can be taken abroad, that American ideas and policies are understood and respected. With respect to governments abroad, the U.S. government has a more complicated problem. As a world power center, it receives the blame for problems beyond its own making, including some originating as disinformation in the Soviet Union. Anti-Americanism, in balance, has receded worldwide, and American governmental sophistication in dealing with such of it as remains has grown substantially
