Richard Hamilton and James D. Wright : The support for hard-line foreign policy.
Support for the bombing of Manchuria in 1952 and an escalation of the war in Vietnam in 1964 and 1968 is discussed in the context of Lipset's (1959) thesis of « working class authoritarianism ». On the basis of Lipset's original formulation, one expects the « tough » or « punitive » policy options to be preferred by the less -educated, the non- affluent, the old, and the working class. The data for Korea in 1952 and Vietnam in 1964 show just the opposite to be the case; in both instances, the « tough » options were preferred most by the high status groups. In 1968, however, class and policy preference were not strongly related. The evidence shows that the attenuation of the relationship from 1964 to 1968 was due almost entirely to a disproportionate shift away from the escalation option among the high status groups, and that this high status shift was in turn largely a reflection of the greater attention of the high status groups to print media which had themselves shifted on the war issue in the 1964-1968 period. The implications of these results for the class authoritarianism thesis and the mass society theory are discussed. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
