Index to International Public Opinion, 1995-1996

The 1995-1996 edition of the Index to International Public Opinion has even greater coverage than earlier volumes in the series. Coverage has been increased to 71 countries where surveys were conducted, and 105 countries and regions are referenced in these studies. Data compiled by 190 research firms results in this collection of public opinion from around the world. As with earlier volumes, all tables contain total sample results, and many include breakdowns by various population subgroups such as gender, political party affiliation, age and level of formal education. As in the past, poll questions deal with a broad mix of social, political and economic issues of both contemporary and historical interest. Among them are surveys on atoll nuclear testing, terrorism in Canada and the United States, European business leaders, international relations in the Far East, and the United States bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The large volume of public opinion data should make the text of importance for journalists, scholars, government officials, and business professionals.
