| Summary |
Much of Washington and its foreign policy elite believe that "Iraq and other debacles" have left Americans wearied, worried, and inclined toward either America First or retrenchment ideas. They believe the American public sees the rules-based international order established after World War II as bankrupt. But that is not what the American public actually thinks. Whether they identify as Democrats, Independents, or Republicans, large numbers of Americans continue to favor the foundational elements of traditional, post-World War II US foreign policy. They express continued or increased support for security alliances and military deterrence by maintaining superior military capabilities and US bases abroad. They believe international trade is good for the United States and American companies, and that promoting democracy and human rights around the world makes the United States safer. In fact, support for NATO, military alliances, and trade have never been higher in the history of the Chicago Council Survey. Placed within the context of the 45-year history of the Chicago Council Survey, the most striking conclusion is how consistently Americans support a foreign policy based on shared leadership, strong alliances, free trade, and the selective use of military force to defend the United States and its allies |
