mechanisms explored are incentivizing incumbents and shaping who gets elected. Policymakers are more likely to support
the use of force if the public is in favor. Among Members of the Knesset (MKs), willingness to conduct a strike in the
experiment was 16 perent higher when their was public approval. It's not statistically significant, but mostly because
it's generally impossible to get a large enough sample of parlamentary members. 61 percent of MKs saw very or extremely
likely potential political effects from waging an unpopular war and 53 percent saw the same for avoiding a popular war.
In testing the selection mechanism, showing contravening foreign policy was shown to lower support by 20 percent in
the Israeli public, about the same as religion and more than economic policy. In America, the penalty was about the
same for foreign policy, economic policy, and religion

Using an experiment, the authors demonstrate that cues from social peers are "at least as strong as those from political
elites, and in some cases, stronger" (544). If public opinion is really a top down process, then that undermines the
audience costs model of IR theory, so the authors posit a more bottom-up theory. The authors have three reasons they
believe scholar should consider "mesofoundations and group context" (546): groups are an important source of
information, groups are important source of social influence, and people behave differently in groups than as
individuals. The five experiments essentially confirm the importance of ones placement along the military assertiveness
and internationalism scales from Hermann et all (1999). Group social cues are consistently more important than elite
or partisan cues. MIlitary assertiveness doesn't affect an IPE experiment, interestingly. Concludes by saying that
"future work in public opinion toward foreign policy should therefore explore the broader group contexts in which
individuals are embedded" (555).

Provides an overview of research on "democracy as an influence on the interstate use of force through the constraining
effects of domestic public opinion." (1926). Sees the research as coming out of the democratic peace literature of the
1980s, rather than the "paradigmatic" models of realism v. liberalism v. constructivism that came earlier. Provides a
brief overview of the normative v. structurel (institutional) arguements in democratic peace. A structural constraint
is the audience cost arguement of Fearon, though it is more recently sometimes referred to as the "competenece costs."
Selectorate theory (BBS and co.) is important and states taht all leaders seek to retain power by satisfying
constituents. Selectorate theory suggested that policy success should drive public responses and therefore brought
literature on public opinion and foreign policy into conversation with structural theories. One key factor is that
success or perceived success is important (see Gelpi et al, 2005 and Eichenberg 2005). Framing effects and elite cue
theories somewhat (i.e. Berinsky) challenged the "rational public" model. Baum and Groeling's (2010) "reality asserts
itself" writings demonstrate that elites only have initial informational advantages. For foreign policy to be important
in elections, an opposition has to assert a contrarian viewpoint. Some research shows that even if the public doesn't
hold a ton of facts about foreign policy, their opinions respond to facts. After talking about War and Democratic
Restraint, Gelpi talks about remaining gaps, mostly with emperial studies on democratic norm effects and the "direct
causal impact of democracy on foreign policy" (1940)

Using experiments embedded into U.S. and U.K. public opinion polls, Tomz and Weeks find that democratic publics are
more adverse to the use of force against other democracies. They find that shared democracy pacifies the public by
"changing perceptiosn of threat and morality." The note a higher "baseline level of militarism" in the U.S. than in the
the U.K. Joint "democracy matterned not by lowering the expected probability of building nuclear weapons, but by
changign perceptions about how the country would use them." No support for the democracies are effective fighters
so people don't want to go to war with them hypothesis. More engaged segements of the populations were found to be more
affected by lowering support for war against democracies.

Is a survey review of research about how public opinion affects policy and how that came to be a primary research
topic. Lots of research shows that responsiveness to opinion is greater for domestic policy over foreign policy. There
is evidence of congressional and state-level responsiveness to public opinion. Research in the 80s showed over 60
percent congruance from public opinion to policy outcomes, which dropped into the 50s in the 1990s (991-992). There is
literaturing saying that the Supreme Court decisionmaking appears to be in line with public opinion. The conclusion
is that there is a debate that "policy responsiveness to the public as large has decreased: Partisan conflict has
become more polarized, and presidents and other political leaders have used polling to determine how best to lead,
persuade, and manipulate public opinion, not respond to it" (999)

Finds that elite rhetoric is influential only immediately after a war begins, when the "rally 'round the flat" effect is
dominante. However, after a certain point, the "reality" on the ground influences the public's opinion about a war
effort. "This suggests that the 'audience' is not necessarily the passive rubber stamp frequently assumed by audience
cost theories." (475). However, in the much longer term, there isn't much "elasticity of realty" and opinions become
generally codified and less likely to be influenced by new facts.

Tests the thesis of Reiter and Stam's book that democracies are more likely to win wars. Finds that their methodology
for not including war joiners and draws gave false statistical results. Downes then utilizes process tracing of
Johnson's decision to enter the Vietnam war to show that most members of the administration did not actually think
there would be victory. Downes shows that domestic politics affected the decision for war and that Johnson feared
political punishment for withdrawing and not being able to institute the Great Society. Also, Downes conclusion notes
how democratic leaderships have often downplayed the cost of war to gain support for a long war (e.g. the 18-year
occupation of Lebanon by Israel). I love this article.

Uses an "elite cue" theory stating that "the nature of conflict among political elites concerning the salience and
meaning of those events determines if the public will rally to war" (975). "When elites come to a common interpretation
of a political reality, the public gives them great latitude to wage war" (975). "The mass public is rational only to
the extent that prominent political actors provide a rational lead" (976). Finds from a survey about Iraq that
information wasn't important and that even in WW2, battlefield events alone were not enough to explain public opinion
during the war. Essentilly is dissuaded by "event-response theories" and thinks that unified "elite cues" are all that
mattered.

An overview of framing theory. Early studies talked about how individuals endorsed democratic values, but failed to
defend their application. The public may have held fragmentary and conflicting attitudes. Framing theory posits that
one's frame can be influenced by politicians trying to get voters to think of an issues along a certain line. People
draw their opinions from the set of available beliefs stored in memory. "Framing can work...by making new beliefs
available about an issue, making certain available beliefs accessible, or making beliefs applicable or "strong" in
people's evaluations." (111) Strong frames can be built around "exaggerations and outright lies" (111) and should not
be confused with "intellectually or morally superior arguements" (111). "Framing effects are a liability only if
individuals never develop a basis for discriminating among frames and remain constantly vulnerable to changing
representations of issues" (120). "Stability of opinions per se - divorced from the process by which judgments are
formed and maintained - is therefore a misguided criterion for evaluating the quality of political evaluation." (120).
"Hence, both excessive instability and excessive stability of public opinion can be liabilities in a democracy" (120)

The authors argue that the U.S. public "makes reasoned and reasonable judgements" and casualties and support for the war
in Iraq (8). The belive that the decline in support came from "a perceived lack of measureable process toward "sucess"
that eroded the public's hopes that the war may eventually be won" (9). The authors test Jentleson's arguement that the
"pretty prudent" public bases casualty tolerance on the policy objected, Larson's arguement that public tolerance
follows domestic elite tolerance and Kull's arguement that multilateral support boosts domestic support. The authors
note the difficulty of relying on aggregate data. From polling data they conducted they find that "expectations about
victory have a greater impact on casualty tolerance when respondents are skeptical about the justification of the war
than their views about the rightness of the war have when they are skeptical about victory" (32). Thinking the war was
the right wing has a positive interaction coefficient with perceptions of success. Good line, "public expectations of
success are central in determining public support for paying the human costs of war" (40). The public appears "to be
engaging in simple but clear calculations about the expected value of continuing to engage in armed conflict" (44).

Identifies six main causal mechanisms from the democratic peace literature and itemizes problems with each of them. From
the normative logic, externalized trust and respect leads to peace, but Rosato uses imperialization wars and covert
Cold War interventions by America against democracies as evidence against this logic. The institutional logics lead
from accountability to public constraint, group constraint, slow mobilization, no suprise attack and information that
leads to peace. Public constrain is undermined by the the small subsets of populations that fight wars, nationalism,
and elite cues overwhelming public opinion. Group constraint is undermined by the fact that antiwar groups rarely have
power and that there is also evidence of group restraint in autocracies. Slow mobilization is undermined by how often
American presidennts have "circumvented or ignored checks and balances, thereby speeding up the war decision process"
(597). The surprise attack arguement is poor because defenders are "poor at evaluating information" (598) regardlesss
of if they're democracies or autocracies. The information arguement is undermined by the fact that democratic processes
can reveal too much information that is hard to interpret and because "open domestic political competition does not
ensure that states will reveal their private information" (598). Rosato finishes by saying "that the democratic peace
is in fact an imperial peace based on American power" (599) since it's essentially a post-WW2.

Highly-cited article that examines the varied democracy datasets. Many datasets lack measure for participation, which is
a particularly problem with the Polity dataset. Measurement error in some aspects is not always accounted for (e.g.
increased perceived corruption may indicate a freer press). The selection of measurement level (e.g. nominal, ordinal)
and lack of intercoder reliability is a problem. The aggregate top-level measures are criticized because there is not an
explicit validity to the measures.

Based on experiments in public polls, the authors find that US public views about the use of force are measured by
placement on two-axis assertiveness-isolationist/internationalist perspective rather than a liberal/conservative
measure. Situational cues are very important with the perception of US interests being involved and the persons's image
of the adversary beint important. Being more politically knowledgable means a respondent is more likely to respond to
situational factors. Also important was whether the armed conflict involved a civil war or cross-border attack. The
interaction between liberal/conservatives values was found to only be significant for interacting wiht the perception
or lack thereof of US interests.

Schultz looks at the reactions by other countries to democracies in the international system regarding war. Schultz
tests BBS et al's arguement that institutional constraints make war make benefits to democratic leaders lower and
Fearon's arguement that democracies are better at signalling their true intentions. Neither of these two arguements are
dependent on the other state, unlik, say, a moralistic dyadic democractic peace arguement. Schultz finds evidence that
targets of militarized action are less likely to respond militarily if the initator is a democracy, which is consistent
with the informational perspective. There isn't much support found for the institutional constrains perspective

Somewhat refutes Waltz's formation that states are affected by the system and argues that the subject of systemic
theories is and shoud be states' foreign policies and consequences. A domestic-political IR theory is "one in which at
least one state is represented as nonunitary, and at least one such state pursues a suboptimal foreign policy due,
somehow, to the interaction of the actors represented within the state" (299). Fearon emphasizes that relative power
is not the only measure by which to explain foreign policy choices. Fearon cites examples where "organizational biases
of professional militaries lead them to advocate offensive military doctrines, which in turn influence civilian leaders
to choose foreign policies more likely to result in war" (302).

Theoretical premise that democraicies are less likely to back down from threats and bluffs, which makes it easier for
democracies to signal their true intentions than autocracies. The "audience costs" arguement says that "domestic
audiences may provide the strongest incentives for leaders to guard their states' "international" reputations" (581).
Democratic leaders tend to face more powerful domestic audiendes and are more reluctant to initiate limited probes in
foreign policy.

Tests normative and structural reasons for why democracies don't fight each other, the "democratic peace." The normative
arguement is that democratic norms allow for better negotions between states before war. Sturctural models talk about
constraints on the executive in the constitution and legal system; presidential majoritarian democracies are less
constrained. The OLS finds joint democracies are less MID-prone, bt the coefficient is really low and that's not really
mentioned in the text. They also find that institutional constrains do prevent escalation to war, but they do not
prevent states from entering lower-level disputes. The authors comes down slightly on the normative arguement.

The author argues that during the 1980s, the main issue for gaining public support was the "principal policy objective"
of an intervention. The use of force as a "foreign policy restraint" (i.e. an aggressive actor against the United
States) garnered greater support than the use of force for "internal political change" (i.e. supporting an ally or
seeking the overthrow of a hostile power). Halo effects were found for successful interventions and by removing these
there was a much higher approval for the cases of foreign policy restraint ("Libya: antiterrorism," "Persian Gulf
Reflagging," "Lebanon" (coded as mixed), "Afghanistan" (coded as mixed), and "Nicaragua: military exercises) than for
internal political change ("Panama (pre-invasion)," "El Salvador," "Libya: get Qaddafi," and "Nicaragua: overthrow
Sandinistas")

Starts by giving an overview of the realist/liberal paradigm in which realists are skeptical of public opinion and
liberals are more inclusive. The Almond-Lippmann consensus is that "the common man" is too concerned with daily life
to be concerned with foreign policy. The primary consequences are that public opinion is volitile, lacks structure and
coherence, and has limited impact onthe conduct of foreign policy. Shapiro/Page and then Jentleson essentially prove
the volitility arguement is garbage. Studies found more consistency after the Johnson-Goldwater election. In addition,
the structure is more complicated than liberal-conservative, but requires two axes of support-opposition to militant
internationalism and cooperative internationalism. "Because voters are perceived as punishing incumbent candidates or
parties for foreign policy failuires...or rewarding them for successes...,decisions by foreign policy leaders may be
made in anticipation of public reactions and the probabilities of success or failure (452)." The support for the public
effect on foreign policy is more tenuous. Holsti concludes that case studies using archival work, cross-national
research, development of standard questions, and non-Cold War results are needed.

Surveys the US, France, Germany, and Japan to "show that differences in political institutions, policy networks, and
societal structures account for different foreign policy outcomes when the impact of the international environment is
controlled for and public attitudes follow similar patterns across countries." (480). Argues for distinguishing between
the "mass public opinion," "attentive public," and "issue publics" (482). "Domestic structures and coalition-building
processes" are also required to understand outcomes (484). Risse-Kappen constrasts the political systems degree of
centralization/decentralization, societies polarization and strength of social organization, and if the policy network
is society, state, or inbetween (corporatist) (486 and 492, table 1). The pattern of matching public opinion and policy
ocurred in the US/German, less so in Japan, and not in France. "This study suggests, however, that the indirect effects
of public opinion are far more important. To the extent that the emperical material was available, it could be shown
that the main role of the public in liberal democracies is to influence the coalition-building processes among elite
groups" (510)

Most cited finding is that support for the two wars was significantly correlated with the log of casualties in the wars.
Also finds that the two wars followed similar trajectories in support and that the Korean war was probably less
popular than Vietnam (though this was written in 1971). Finally, posits a few structure changes in the "intellectual
left" that led to the wider visibility of unpopularity of Vietnam that probably couldn't be cited in the 21st century.

Posits that political parties exist solely for gaining votes and power. Because of imperfect information, democracy
becomes representative government and lobbying is a perfectly rational response in democracies. Parties invent
ideologies in an effort to attract votes. The marginal cost of acquiring information for politicians and voters leads
to a rational ignorance about most issues. Therefore, government priorities producers over consumers because
all actors are lobbyists for their own one or two issues.
