Why Don't Americans Care About Foreign Affairs?
Why do Americans no care about foreign affairs? This is a common question.
In this episode, we offer several potential explanations. Americans have always been isolationists dating back to the founding fathers. As residents of a large island that is surrounded by two oceans and good neighbors in the form of Mexico and Canada, Americans have the luxury of living in a bubble. Next, media coverage. A large body of academic literature indicates that the vast majority of nations receive little to no coverage at all. As the old saying says, the media doesn't tell us what to think but it does have the ability to tell us what to think about. As the media provides little focus on the world, Americans may understand that foreign affairs are not important. Next, we debate what this means and why it matters? How do governments gain support for their foreign policy objectives from their domestic audiences? Why is this important?
