Es destaca un alt pessimisme sobre la situació mundial actual i futura, visió que contrasta amb l’alt grau d’optimisme en relació amb Amèrica Llatina; els temes que més preocupen als ciutadans són els vinculats amb el benestar social i la seguretat, i són prioritaris el narcotràfic, el crim organitzat, l’escalfament global, la pobresa, entre d’altres.

Through an analysis of public opinion on foreign policy in these four countries, the project examines social attitudes and perceptions toward international issues in a wide range of fields (including cultural, economic, political, social and security). The surveys have revealed data that is of great interest in terms of understanding the region and of filling a void of strategic information. The results show great pessimism as regards the present and future state of the world; this view contrasts with the high levels of optimism expressed with respect to Latin America. The issues that most concern citizens are those linked with social welfare and security, priority topics being: drug trafficking, organised crime, global warming and poverty. Likewise, the survey shows a markedly high degree of cultural, social and political nationalism, expressed in the form of great rejection for and mistrust of foreigners. Significantly, however, most of the people who took part in the survey beleieve that their own country has been the most influential over the past decade, as well as being the best-suited to lead the region in the future.
