Abstract: It is generally accepted that the English School of international relations theory, associated with the London School of Economics, approaches its subject from a different perspective than its American variants. This perception has endured into the post-Cold War era. Despite their countries' "special relationship," the American and English approaches are assumed to be separated by a common language, opposing assumptions, and divergent global interests.The following article challenges this perception by introducing global opinion theory, an American approach that shares more with its British counterpart than previous theories. A rhetorical research design, which focuses upon common usages in the quality press, will be used to test areas where the two approaches overlap and conflict in an attempt to reconcile and enrich both theories.
