University of Virginia politics lecturer Peter Furia can provide insight into the public reaction and political implications of today’s U.S. airstrikes in northern Iraq.

Co-editor of “Public Opinion and International Interventions: Lessons from the Iraq War,” much of Furia’s research addresses public opinion and comparative foreign policy.

His work utilizes survey data to test claims about group identity and inter-group enmity in international relations.

Furia’s research articles have appeared in Global Society, International Interactions, International Studies Quarterly and Polity, and he has also published over a dozen book chapters, book reviews and shorter articles.
