Leaning Pacifist: Diplomacy
27.6–42.5% Militarist · 57.5–72.4% Pacifist
What this band means
Leaning Pacifist covers 27.6–42.5% Militarist. Your answers favor Pacifist, with a moderate preference in this part of the questionnaire. Militarist positions give more weight to military capability, deterrence and preparedness. Pacifist positions favor negotiation, disarmament and restraint in the use of force. The axis separates attitudes to military means from the national objectives those means might serve. A strong defense preference can coexist with opposition to overseas intervention. Compare Diplomacy with Intervention before interpreting either as a complete foreign policy. This band describes the direction and distance of your score from the center, rather than the percentage of people who agree with you. Two people in the same band can still disagree on particular policies. Their remaining eleven axes may also differ substantially. Use the sample statements to identify the trade-offs that produced this part of your result.
