American Leadership Beliefs on Domestic and Foreign Policy A Fourth Phase

这项调查使研究人员能够进行外交政策领导项目的第四阶段。调查人员利用向美国2200名社会、政治和经济领导人发送的邮件调查，目的是探索政策信念的潜在维度和相互联系，特别关注外交政策。在1976年、1980年和1984年进行的研究的基础上，该研究监测了精英态度的趋势和稳定性。1988年的研究通过评估国内政策和外交政策之间的联系扩大了先前的调查。这个项目的数据集提供给学者作进一步分析，代表了对外交政策态度结构的最深入的评估。

This investigation allows the researchers to undertake the fourth phase of the Foreign Policy Leadership Project. The investigators utilize a mail survey sent to 2,200 social, political, and economic leaders in the United States for the purpose of exploring the underlying dimensions and interconnections of policy beliefs, with particular focus on foreign policy. Building on studies undertaken in 1976, 1980, and 1984, the research monitors trends in, and the stability of, elite attitudes. The 1988 study expands the prior investigations by assessing the linkages between domestic and foreign policy. The data set from this project is made available to scholars for additional analyses and represents the most in.depth assessment of the structure of foreign policy attitudes.
