In this highly original volume, Richard Sobel and Eric Shiraev
advance research and theory in the study of public opinion and
foreign policy. International Public Opinion and the Bosnia Crisis
is unique in that it tracks a single foreign policy crisis across
different countries. Following Ole Holsti's apt advice, the
contributors use cross-national data and other evidence to look at
the extent to which public opinion influenced foreign policy in a
critical case. Editors Sobel and Shiraev offer a necessarily
complex theoretical framework, befitting the complexities of the
different forms of contemporary democratic politics and the foreign
policies that have to be wrestled with, which they, their
contributors, and others of us will want to debate, criticize, and
build upon or alter. In doing this we can attempt both to advance
political science theory and to improve our understanding of
real-world politics and, ideally, to provide guidance as nations
individually and interactively confront new crises and wars.
