Question

domestic and foreign policy
foreign policy and conflict
international events can promote foreign policy as a major concern for citizens, sometimes influencing their views more than domestic policy:

• international conflict: violent events such as world war ii or the 9/11 attacks can create demand for a strong international response and the most capable wartime leaders
• continuity of command: leaders may be reelected to oversee an ongoing conflict started under their tenure, such as with george w. bush after 9/11, 2001
• rejecting leadership: some leaders may become unpopular due to public disapproval of how they handle a conflict, such as with lyndon b. johnson during the vietnam war

what effect does the start of international conflict usually have on public policy?

• it elevates the importance of domestic policy.
• it shifts focus from domestic to foreign policy.
• it creates confusion, pausing policy changes.
