America and Europe diverge on the death penalty -- What does the worldwide popularity of capital punishment tell us? -- The hollow hope of public education -- case study one - Germany -- Case study two - The United Kingdom -- Case study three - France -- Elaborating the European model -- Why the European model failed in the United States.

Why has Western Europe abolished capital punishment, while the United States continues to execute prisoners? Who were the leaders of Western Europe's successful abolition campaigns, and what strategies did theyuse? What are the prospects for international law efforts to abolish capital punishment? Drawing on research in multiple disciplines and manyforeign-language sources,?this book?proposes answers to these questions. Movements to abolish the death penalty cannot be understood without agrasp of the dynamics of public opinion on capital punishment, which is driven not by rational consideration but by what cognitive psychologists call 'social intuitions,' deeply rooted attitudes whichare resistant to change. European death-penalty abolitionists quickly realized the futility of trying to change public opinion on a mass scale, and instead devised strategies to accomplish abolitiondespite lingering publicsupport for the death penalty. Pointing to the importance of politicalstructures that allowed European abolitionists to bypass public opinion,?this study?assesses the prospects of the 'European model' of abolition in global perspective.
