Foreign Policy

Inside the Ivory Tower: "The picture of the discipline that emerges is a complex one. Some stereotypes are strengthened. Sixty-nine percent of international relations professors, for example, describe themselves as liberal; a scant 13 percent see themselves as conservative. They overwhelmingly opposed the U.S. war in Iraq, almost unanimously believe that the United States is less respected in the world because of it, and they think that this loss of respect poses a significant problem for U.S. foreign policy. Seventy-seven percent of them support free trade, and only 10 percent believe the United States should beef up its military budget."
