World Opinion

“The great purpose of the British Empire is the gradual spread of freedom among all His Majesty's subjects in whatever part of the world they live. That spread of freedom is a slow evolutionary process. In some countries it is more rapid than others.… It may take generations or even centuries for the peoples in some parts of the Colonial Empire to achieve self-government. But it is a major part of our policy, even among the most backward peoples of Africa, to teach them and to encourage them always to be able to stand a little more on their own two feet.”

The Relationship

The INF Treaty, a turning-point in the nuclear arms race, was preceded by massive protests against nuclear armaments around the world, thus providing a test of the old belief that world opinion is crucial for peace and security. At issue is whether the treaty came about because of, regardless of or in spite of this international opinion. Three propositions about the relationship between international opinion-formation and foreign policymaking are thus outlined in the paper and are then applied to the INF case. It appears that anti-nuclear opinion was effective in part and counter-productive in part. A salient feature of the INF process was its unpredictability, which suggests several reasons why international opinion-formation is apt to lead to unexpected results.

World Opinion

The Defense Science Board (DSB) is a federal advisory committee established in 2001 to provide independent advice to the Secretary of Defense. Early in 2004, the DSB created a special task force on U.S. Strategic Communication with the ultimate aim of making recommendations geared to improving America's negative image in world opinion. The ten-member task force, comprising academics and analysts from the private sector working with a panel of government advisers, presented its 111-page final report——which concludes that U.S. strategic communication ““must be transformed““——in August 2004. Footnotes in the excerpts below have been eliminated for space considerations. The entire report can be viewed on the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics Web site at www.acq.osd.mil.
