Descrizione The Arab Lobby and the Us: Factors for Success and Failure
The Arab Lobby and the US studies attempts by Arab Gulf states to effectively lobby the US government, exploring aspects of their lobbying behaviour in order to identify the factors that lead to success and those that lead to failure from their lobbying endeavours. In this respect, the research utilizes two case studies: one in which Arab Gulf state lobbying was successful, and another in which lobbying failed. In tandem with an analysis of the strategies-or lack of them-behind Arab Gulf states' lobbying, the research examines additional relevant factors such as the organization and activism of the US Arab American community, the strategic value of the Arab Gulf to the US, and the negative image of Arabs in America. The hurdles and obstacles facing the establishment of an effective Arab Gulf lobby in the US are considered, to reach a conclusion that evaluates the prospects of an effective Arab Gulf lobby.
