Richard F. Hamilton : The mass support for « tough » military initiatives in the 1952 China case.
Starting from a survey made during the 1952 elections, the author tries to identify the partisans of a « tough » policy toward China which was officially neutral, but sent supplies to Korea, then at war with the United States. Several tables show the percentage of attitudes « favorable to bombing » China (the « tough » solution) in relation with the characteristics of those interviewed. In general, the partisans of a « tough » solution are : well-off white protestants, assimilated catholics, and those who are conservative in economic matters and in the matter of civil rights for the Blacks. The two fundamental factors which determine this attitude are written information, made available through education, and the basic feeling of « self-righteousness » characteristic of white protestants. On the other hand, the groups which are exposed to a certain insecurity in their lives : the various minorities, the poor, the working class, have a tendency toward supporting a policy of negociation. At the end of the article, the author makes a comparison with the results of a similar study on attitudes toward the war in Vietnam. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
