By studying news coverage, elite debate, and public opinion prior to the Iraq War, the authors demonstrate that US media outlets aired and published a significant amount of opposition to the invasion from official sources abroad, including British, French, and United Nations representatives. In turn, these foreign voices - to which millions of Americans were exposed - drove many Democrats and independents to signal opposition to the war, even as domestic elites supported it. Contrary to conventional wisdom that Americans care little about the views of foreigners, this book shows that international officials can alter domestic public opinion, but only when the media deem them newsworthy. Their conclusions raise significant questions about the democratic quality of United States foreign policy debates.Foreign newsUnited StatesPublic opinionMass media and public opinionUnited StatesPublic opinionUnited StatesIraq War, 2003-2011Public opinionIraq War, 2003-2011Foreign public opinionUnited StatesForeign relationsPublic opinionUnited StatesMilitary policyPublic opinionUnited StatesForeign public opinionForeign newsPublic opinion.Mass media and public opinionPublic opinionIraq War, 2003-2011Public opinion.Iraq War, 2003-2011Foreign public opinion.327.73Hayes Danny1533630Guardino MattUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786217003321Influence from abroad3780713UNINA
