Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper, I adopt the perspective of a structured and stable public view to analyze the possible linkage between public opinion and U.S. foreign policy, as we move to a post-Bush administration. The analysis proceeds in the following way. First, the paper begins by reviewing these competing theoretical perspectives, based upon recent studies of the public opinion�foreign policy linkage, and assessing their relative utility today. Second, utilizing the second perspective, the research identifies several necessary and sufficient conditions required for the public to have an effect on foreign policy. The necessary conditions are the degree of structure and stability in the public�s views, and the sufficient conditions are the leaders� receptivity to the public�s views on foreign policy and the degree of public access to the decision-making process. Third, using some recent polling data, I summarize the public�s current general orientation to foreign policy and its position on key issues. Fourth, I assess the foreign policy positions of the likely 2008 Democratic and Republican nominees, their receptivity (and compatibility) with the public�s view, and the likelihood that their decision styles will facilitate public input. Finally, the analysis concludes by identifying several structural and process factors that will arguably facilitate greater public impact on foreign policy, regardless of the candidate ultimately chosen as the next president.
