A new consensus has emerged in recent years that the public responds to foreign affairs in reasonable ways. Bruce Jentleson (1992) has contributed to this optimistic revisionism, arguing that the public is "pretty prudent" in the "post post-Vietnam period." The American people, he suggests, now discriminate between using the military to force foreign policy restraint on aggressive adversaries and using it to coerce internal political change. We test Jentleson's hypothesis, with several theoretically interesting controls, using regression analyses of all thirty-eight major uses of force that occurred during a U.S. foreign policy crisis, 1950-1988. We do not find support for Jentleson's periodization of the post-World War II era; but our analyses do indicate that the American people have, throughout the postwar years, been more supportive of using military force to resist aggression than to engineer internal change in other countries.

... The importance of language and ethnic diversity in explaining growth differences between countries has become, over the past few decades, a topic of debate with authors (Chong et al., 2010;Easterley and Levine, 1997; Karnane and Quinn, 2019; Lee, 2012) finding a correlation between language, ethnic diversity and growth. The works of Easterly and Levine (1997), Lian and Oneal (1997), Alesina and La Ferrara (2005) has attempted to show, using Greenberg's diversity index, that ethnic, linguistic or cultural fragmentation makes societies prone to internal conflict and hinders the development of trust, which is the foundation of stable political and economic institutions. For example, Laitin et al. (2016), using cross-country regression and micro data, found that the average distance from the official language has a statistically negative impact on growth and individual income. ...
