Description:
|
This project will use text analysis to study the development of hawkish (militant) attitudes in female executives over time. Existing scholarship suggests that female executives do not hold hawkish preferences but are constrained by masculine norms to engage in hawkish foreign policy. This research will explore this mechanism and alternative mechanisms to further scholars’ understanding of the militant behavior of executives, gender norms in foreign policy circles, and the development of hawkish preferences in candidates over time |
