International Cooperation, Domestic Politics, and Public Opinion

Sat, September 7, 2:00 to 3:30pm, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, 304

Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel

Session Description

International cooperation has become an increasingly important issue in domestic politics. A politicization of foreign policy issues among the public, growing security concerns, nationalist parties’ electoral successes, and an increasing politicization of international organizations present considerable challenges for international institutions and international cooperation more generally. To explore these dynamics, this panel discusses the interplay between domestic politics and international institutions. All five contributions focus on how and why domestic politics, and especially the mass public, helps or hinders international cooperation. Presenting evidence spanning four continents and a variety of international institutions, such as the IMF, UNICEF, and the EU, they provide novel insights into the reciprocal relationship between international institutions and domestic politics.
