Tells the story of when and why xenophobia at home becomes converted into xenophobia abroad How attentive are political leaders to public opinion on issues involving international politics? The conventional wisdom is that the public does not influence foreign policy. But when shifts in public opinion seem to produce corresponding changes in foreign policy, this is brought into question. It would be surprising if the pathology of xenophobia - literally 'a fear of foreigners' - had no effect on a country's foreign policy. This book is about the politics of fear: a bottom-up mobilisation of swathes of society against a political establishment championing diversity. Evidence that such populist politics of fear does more than force political leaders to reconsider liberal immigration policy is to be found in changes in foreign policy. In specific circumstances, societal fears can make leaders pursue hostile foreign policy towards perceived antipathetic nations.
