Internationalisme pragmatique : l'opinion américaine au milieu de la décennie 1990

Abstract

Pragmatic Internationalism : American Public Opinion in the Mid-Nineties, by John E. Rielly According to some of the most important general conclusions from the latest quadrennial survey of American public and leadership opinion sponsored by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, in late 1994, American public and leadership opinion can be summarized as reflecting a «pragmatic internationalism ». Approximately two thirds of the public and almost ail of the leaders still favor an active role for the United States in world affairs. Despite heightened emphasis on domestic concerns, United States results do not reflect a new isolationism. Almost half the public and leaders surveyed say the United States plays a more important role as a world leader today compared to ten years ago.
