“…Some commentators have hypothesized that in the current era of economic globalization, elite members of the American public would adopt a more cosmopolitan view of world politics, consistent with liberal internationalism. 135 Samuel Huntington derisively dubbed this the "Davos culture" hypothesis, but the notion has attracted serious scholarly interest. 136 Certainly a cosmopolitan elite would be less likely to embrace a "folk realism" borne out of inattention to world politics.…”

For more than half a century, realist scholars of international relations have maintained that their world view is inimical to the American public. For a variety of reasons-inchoate attitudes, national history, American exceptionalism-realists assert that the U.S. government pursues realist policies in spite and not because of public opinion. Indeed, most IR scholars share this "anti-realist assumption." To determine the empirical validity of the anti-realist assumption, this paper re-examines survey and experimental data on the mass public's attitudes towards foreign policy priorities and world views, the use of force, and foreign economic policy over the past three decades. The results suggest that, far from disliking realism, Americans are at least as comfortable with the logic of realpolitik as they are with liberal internationalism. The persistence of the anti-realist assumption might be due to an ironic fact: American elites are more predisposed towards liberal internationalism than the rest of the American public.

“…Many consumer campaigns through history and in many countries might be argued to have morally defensible aims. Such actions might range from Mahatma Gandhi's boycott of UK cotton products in India 21 to the Florida Gay Rights Buycotts in America, 22 labour rights campaigns 23 and eighteenth century flour and bread societies. 24 What these campaigns have in common is that they are organised in part by their potential beneficiaries.…”

A history for consumption ethics

The histories we give to production and consumption affect our present and future business understandings. We question recent works that have ascribed a relatively short history to consumption ethics. Drawing on writers, across a number of academic disciplines, we conclude evidence exists to make the case against understanding consumption ethics as new to the twenty-first century. We argue that acknowledging a long history for consumption ethics challenges contemporary economic stereotypes of consumers as self-interested maximisers. It also modifies our understanding of the relationship between corporate and consumer social responsibility.
