World Public Opinion.Org: The Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) launched World Public Opinion.org (WPO) in January 2006 to provide a source of in-depth information and analysis on public opinion from around the world on international issues. As the world becomes increasingly integrated, economic and security challenges have become increasingly global, pointing to a greater need for understanding between nations and for finding global norms. With the growth of democracy in the world, public opinion has come to play a greater role in the foreign policy process. WPO seeks to increase understanding of public opinion in specific nations around the world as well as to elucidate the global patterns of world public opinion. The results of a variety of surveys can be searched by geographic area and topic.
