spurred by threats or afraid of war a survey experiment on costs of conflict in support for Military Action
Peace Economics Peace Science and Public Policy, 2019Co-Authors: Kristian Skrede Gleditsch, Atsushi Tago, Seiki TanakaAbstract:It is commonly assumed that perceived threats from a rival state will make individuals more likely to “rally-round-the-flag” and support Military Action. Previous studies have looked at how information about threats affects public support for Military Action. To date, however, there has been less attention to how information about the costs of conflict affects support for Military Action in response to threats. In this article, we present a survey experiment designed to evaluate how information about the likely Military and economic costs of conflict influences support for Military Action. We provide Japanese respondents with information about relations with China, and probe how support for Military Action in the context of the ongoing territorial dispute changes with varying information on the Military costs of conflict and its economic consequences. We find that information about trade ties and Military capacity exerts a pacifying effect and strengthens opposition to Military Action. Consistent with our proposed mechanism, we show that greater awareness of Military costs is associated with stronger opposition to Military Action. Our results indicate that even under the existence of external threats, greater awareness of the costs of conflict affects attitudes to Military Action and can increase support for peaceful solutions to territorial rivalries.

an a for effort experimental evidence on un security council engagement and support for us Military Action in japan
British Journal of Political Science, 2015Co-Authors: Atsushi Tago, Maki IkedaAbstract:Existing research emphasizes how United Nations Security Council (UNSC) approval helps convey information to domestic audiences that Military Action is conducted with good intentions, for desirable consequences and in a legitimate manner. This information transmission mechanism can also increase support for UNSC-endorsed Military Action in countries unlikely to provide major contributions to Military Actions. There is some cross-national evidence supporting the information transmission mechanism in the United States. Examining the causal mechanisms underlying foreign public support for US Military Action through a survey experiment with approximately 2,000 respondents in Japan shows that foreign public support varies depending on whether the Military Action has UNSC approval. The process of presenting draft resolutions to the UNSC also affects public support.

Winning over foreign domestic support for use of force: power of diplomatic and operational multilateralism
International Relations of the Asia-Pacific, 2014Co-Authors: Maki Ikeda, Atsushi TagoAbstract:The United States uses two forms of multilateralism to increase levels of foreign public support for Military Action: diplomatic multilateralism and operational multilateralism. Diplomatic multilateralism is typically done by obtaining a United Nations Security Council resolution authorizing Military Action. The use of multinational forces, the so-called coalition of the willing and many flags program, is an example of operational multilateralism. While scholars have empirical evidence that diplomatic multilateralism generates foreign domestic support for the use of force, there is no equivalent study for operational multilateralism. We do not know if or how much the two types of multilateralism would differ in inducing foreign domestic support for Military Action. This article, by using Japan as a field of survey experiment, answers these questions.

who follows whom a coincidence analysis of Military Action public opinion and threats
Journal of Peace Research, 2019Co-Authors: Tim HaesebrouckAbstract:Does public opinion act as a constraint on Military Action, are ordinary citizens the easily manipulated targets of the public relations efforts of their governments, or does the general public react as assertively to threats as decisionmakers? This article examines the causal connection between Military Action, public opinion and threats. Empirically, it focuses on the pattern of EU member state participation in two recent Military operations: the 2011 intervention in Libya and the operation against the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS). Three competing causal models on the relationship between threats, public opinion and Military Action were derived from the scholarly literature and tested with coincidence analysis. The results of the analysis show that public opinion acted as a constraint on executives during the Libya operation. However, there was no direct causal link between public opinion and Military participation in the operation against IS, in which both Military Action and public support were an effect of threat. More generally, the results suggest that the context of the intervention is decisive for the relation between threat, Military Action and public support. More specifically, whether public opinion constitutes a constraint on Military Action or is an effect of threats to national interests depends on whether these threats are clear and tangible.

An ‘A’ for Effort: Experimental Evidence on UN Security Council Engagement and Support for US Military Action in Japan

civilian casualties and public support for Military Action experimental evidence
Journal of Conflict Resolution, 2019Co-Authors: Robert Johns, Graeme A M DaviesAbstract:In contrast to the expansive literature on Military casualties and support for war, we know very little about public reActions to foreign civilian casualties. This article, based on representative sample surveys in the US and Britain, reports four survey experiments weaving information about civilian casualties into vignettes about Western Military Action. These produce consistent evidence of civilian casualty aversion: where death tolls were higher, support for force was invariably and significantly lower. Casualty effects were moderate in size but robust across our two cases and across different scenarios. They were also strikingly resistant to moderation by other factors manipulated in the experiments, such as the framing of casualties or their religious affiliation. The importance of numbers over even strongly humanizing frames points towards a utilitarian rather than a social-psychological model of casualty aversion. Either way, civilian casualties deserve a more prominent place in the literature on public support for war.

coalitions of the willing international backing and british public support for Military Action
Journal of Peace Research, 2014Co-Authors: Robert Johns, Graeme A M DaviesAbstract:Studies of public support for war highlight the importance of context. Most people do not simply support or oppose the use of force but instead assess its merits depending on various aspects of the situation. One such aspect is the extent of international backing – whether from individual states or supranational organizations – for Military Action. This backing may be active, notably through the contribution of troops, or more a passive matter of endorsement or authorization of Action. In this article, a survey experiment embedded in a major internet survey of British foreign policy attitudes (N = 2,205) is used to explore how international backing affects public support for Military Action. Britain’s Military potential and recent history make it an obvious case study here. Both active and endorsement backing prove to have separate and significant positive effects on support. Importantly, the absolute number of troops involved matters far less than the proportion of total troop numbers to be contributed. And the perceived strength of the enemy predicts support only when the British are to contribute a large proportion of total forces. Predispositional variables are used to investigate the sources of the experimental effects but with little success: the impact of international backing proves remarkably consistent across the sample.

british public confidence in mi6 and government use of intelligence the effect on support for preventive Military Action
Intelligence & National Security, 2012Co-Authors: Graeme A M Davies, Robert JohnsAbstract:Abstract There are considerable concerns about public perceptions of intelligence stemming directly from the highly politicized nature of intelligence estimates in the run-up to the US-UK invasion of Iraq in 2003. In this article we use a new public attitudes dataset to provide the first ever analysis of British public confidence in MI6 and Government use of intelligence. The article demonstrates that the public have relatively high confidence in the intelligence produced by MI6 but are extremely sceptical about how the Government will present that intelligence. Using an ordered logit model this article then examines the factors that influence public perceptions of both intelligence and Government, finding that women are a lot less confident in both the intelligence services and government presentation of intelligence than men, suggesting that this might help explain gender differences in support for Military Action. The study also demonstrates that party identifiers and Catholics have very low confidence...
