Good Global Citizens? Scottish and English Attitudes to Foreign Policy
Join The Scottish Council on Global Affairs for their upcoming public lecture 'Good Global Citizens? Scottish and English Attitudes to Foreign Policy' on Thursday 27th April.
About Good Global Citizens? Scottish and English Attitudes to Foreign Policy
Dr Claire Duncanson (University of Edinburgh), Dr Timothy Gravelle (Bain and Co.), Professor Thomas Scotto (University of Glasgow)
Comprehensive attempts to measure British citizens’ views of foreign policy are relatively rare. Even more rare are surveys that make meaningful comparisons of the international outlooks of Scots, on the one hand, and English, on the other.
In late 2022, the team fielded a unique survey aimed at better understanding the foreign policy attitudes of the Scots and English. Uniquely, this survey also contains questions measuring popular support on both sides of the border for the Scottish Government’s feminist approach to international engagement.
Questions to be asked and provisionally answered from the data include:
• Do Scots see the global world differently from those in England on core issues such as the propensity to engage militarily or redistribute wealth?
• Does Brexit continue to act as a fault-line, correlating with seemingly unrelated issues such as the decision to maintain nuclear weapons?
• Are many of us “closet feminists” when it comes to how we want the global order to look?
There will be a short presentation of the survey results followed by what we hope will be a lively discussion between the panellists and the audience. Informal conversation and a drinks reception will follow in the Wolfson Atrium.
Venue: Humanity Lecture Theatre, University of Glasgow, Gilmorehill, G12 8QQ
