Title ProperTo fight or not to fight? A multivariate analysis of Turkish public opinion on the use of force
LanguageENG
AuthorKiratli, Osman Sabri
Summary / Abstract (Note)This paper investigates the main determinants of Turkish public opinion on the use and utility of military force. Regression analyses based on survey data from a nationally representative sample demonstrate that socioeconomic and attitudinal factors perform better than demographic attributes in predicting individual support for the use of force. Accordingly, a high school degree, trust in the UN, and financial satisfaction have positive and significant association with isolationist foreign policy attitudes, whereas national pride, trust in the army, satisfaction with the government’s foreign policy performance and self-placement on the political right exert a positive effect toward militant foreign policy dispositions. The analyses also reveal considerable variation in individual attitudes between the supporters of the Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi and Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi on the one hand, and the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi and Halkların Demokratik Partisi on the other hand.
