Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Over the last two decades, significant advances have been made in understanding the elements that make up a theory of public opinion and foreign policy. These include identification of the dimensions of foreign policy attitudes, and the rationality and prudence of the public.Yet despite the advances in understanding public opinion, the theory of public opinion in foreign policy making, and the understanding and demonstration of the dynamics of the opinion-policy nexus long remained at the pre-theoretical stage. Recent developments in the field that provide basic theoretical insights have begun pushing it beyond the pre-theoretical stages. Holsti’s criteria and works of synthesis have pushed the field forward. The theoretical syntheses suggest and the research provides initial evidence for the hypothesis that public opinion constrains but does not set foreign policy.
