Andrew Lugg and Jared Oestman (both Political Science) published their paper "Costs or Benefits? Competing Frames and Public Support for Multilateral Peace Operations" in International Studies Perspectives, a peer-reviewed quarterly journal of the International Studies Association. Using a preregistered survey experiment, their study shows that U.S. citizens are generally supportive of the U.S. government's funding for United Nations Peacekeeping Operations but that negative frames about the sovereignty and opportunity costs associated with this funding erode public support. The results contribute to research on the politicization of international cooperation, suggesting that cost-based messages present a challenge for proponents of multilateral efforts to manage armed conflicts.
