These include security issues, terrorism, economic relations, superpower relations, and American and Soviet images. An examination of U.S. and Soviet efforts to influence West European opinion during the 1980s is also presented.;This book places West European public opinion data in the context of political and historical events during the 1980s as well as in the context of previous public opinion findings from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. the authors examine almost 100 multi-country surveys conducted throughout Western Europe.
