Blog will explore anti-American sentiment

Immediately after September 11, most of the world reached out to the US in sympathy and friendship. Since then, relationships have eroded and around the world people have increasingly come to hate America. Graduate students at UC Berkeley are launching a blog to explore the phenomenon. The blog, to be launched in the next few weeks, will encourage conversations with people from around the world on their anti-American sentiments. More interesting, though, is the intent for the blog to serve as a forum for the collection and analysis of data. According to the Daily Online Californian,

The project has already drawn the attention of other faces of the campus community, including political science professor Steven Weber, who said the project was a good way to start tabulating information on the topic.

???From an institutional perspective, one of the major phenomena in the international environment is a rapid rise in anti-American sentiment,??? Weber said. ???This is a way to start collecting some data and getting a sense of the phenomenon.???
