How different are Americans?
How different are Americans?
- Attitudes and Opinions of the American Public
The international society and the global economy are considerably affected by American policy. Today, perhaps more than ever, American exceptionalism, attitudes toward America - both accurate and misunderstood - and American attitudes about the world form key elements in world politics.
In this public lecture, co-hosted by the US Embassy and CBS, American journalist Bruce Stokes reports from the Global Attitudes Project, a survey of 50.000 people in 50 countries. Among other things, Stokes explores the dimensions of U.S. attitudes and opinions in areas ranging from religion, business, globalization, and optimism about the future to the use of force and the spread of democratic institutions.
Morten Ougaard, newly appointed professor in international political economy at CBS, will comment on the lecture drawing on his research on globalization and international business and politics.
