Abstract:

Content analysis of major national newspapers can help answer the question of why elites think the way they do. What discourse about war is in the public sphere, from which an elites might draw an opinion?

My paper discusses the results of a content analysis of major newspapers in the United States, Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. These newspapers have the highest readership rates for their respective states, lending them a broad influence. My universe of samples includes all editorials commenting on the justness of the causes of the Iraq war in 2002 in the six months prior to the conflict's outbreak. While providing longitudinal depth, this parallel will also suggest whether the political atmosphere of the times influences moral judgments.

The paper addresses the question of what belief systems are used in the public discourse. These belief systems will be classified into several types, including Westerna nd Islamic just war theories, secular moralism, realism and collective security.
