| | | | Summary: | This study collected data from 147 French and 173 German
elite figures in order to investigate four significant aspects of
French and West German politics relevant to the issue of arms control
and disarmament in Western Europe. These four areas were domestic
policy, foreign policy, European integration, and arms control and
disarmament. The questions probed respondents' perceptions of the
political system and its future, opinions on specific foreign policy
issues and their relationship to domestic politics, the two Germanys
question, national sovereignty versus international associations,
European integration, and various nuclear strategies and arms control
arrangements. Latent attitude structures were also measured. The
"latent attitudes" questions tapped the respondents' interest in and
emotional reactions to issues, perceptions of emotional reactions to
professional roles and responsibilities, general ability to structure
problems, open-mindedness, alienation, and feelings of
competence. Biographical data, including standard demographic and
personal information as well as data on party, military, and
governmental backgrounds, were compiled from public records and
interviews. Demographic variables cover age, sex, religious
affiliation, level of education, military service, and past and
present occupations. |
