s How does military experience change individual foreign policy preferences? Prior research on military service focuses on the effects of combat experience on political participation and policy preferences, but combat is not the only military experience that influences attitudes. Living overseas is a common military experience with the potential to shape foreign policy preferences. Using observational data from a sample of military elites and original survey data from a sample of military veterans, I leverage semi-random and non-voluntary assignments to overseas military bases to investigate the relationship between overseas exposure and foreign policy preferences. The data provides evidence that overseas military service increases the likelihood of calling for international engagement, decreases nationalist attitudes, and increases the willingness of military members to assist individual allies. The ability to shape the preferences of military members has important implications for the development of foreign policy and the stability of international engagement.

民族主义、国际主义和干预主义：海外服兵役如何影响外交政策态度


s 军事经历如何改变个人的外交政策偏好？先前关于兵役的研究侧重于战斗经历对政治参与和政策偏好的影响，但战斗并不是影响态度的唯一军事经历。在海外生活是一种常见的军事经历，有可能影响外交政策偏好。利用来自军事精英样本的观察数据和来自退伍军人样本的原始调查数据，我利用半随机和非自愿的任务到海外军事基地来调查海外曝光与外交政策偏好之间的关系。数据提供的证据表明，海外兵役增加了呼吁国际参与的可能性，降低了民族主义态度，并增加了军人协助个别盟友的意愿。影响军人偏好的能力对外交政策的发展和国际交往的稳定性具有重要意义。
