Abstract
Will increased knowledge produce greater agreement on foreign policy issues? Not necessarily, the authors state. It depends in part on a person's preexisting attitudes and what the prevalent, “mainstream” policy is. The analysis of “enlightenment,” mainstream, and cognitive consistency models with reference to opinion formation and knowledge is imaginative and provocative.Keywords
