Research Abstract

The overall purpose of the proposed project is to gain a better understanding of the structure of attitudes and views concerning foreign policies related issues and value among major industrial democracies. The study attempts to identify common underlying values and attributes that eventually give us a better idea what kind of long-term foreign policy objectives receive support from the general public, and how recent developments in the economic, social, political, and security field have affected those preferences. The projected case studies for this project are Japan and Germany, which form an ideal case of comparison because of their many similarities concerning their respective foreign policy constraints.
