Park and Kinne publish in CMPS on the securitization of Americans' attitudes towards international trade

A new article in Conflict Management and Peace Science by recent UCD PhD RyuGyung Park and Professor Brandon Kinne examines why Americans increasingly view international trade as a threat to national security—a phenomenon the authors term trade–security equivalence. The study uses a survey experiment with U.S. respondents to show that this perception is distinct from general trade preferences and is shaped by multiple factors, especially information that trade harms the overall U.S. economy. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/07388942261416263
