Full Description
What is going on domestically when democracies choose war? Why do some wars of choice generate political
opposition while others don't? Is there an internal mechanism that constrains the behavior of democracies when it
comes to war? To answer these questions, Andrew Katz explores the relationship between public support for wars
of choice and democratic norms in the marketplace of ideas.
With extensive empirical evidence ranging from the French war in Indochina afterWorldWar II to "Operation Iraqi
Freedom," Katz provides new insights on the domestic sources of foreign policy, and especially on the role of
public opinion in the decision to go to war.
