The Role of Lobbyists in American Foreign Policy: Israel & South Korea

This book illustrates how international lobbying can be seen as asking American Congresspersons to put the interests of other countries (Israel & South Korea) before those of the USA itself. The privatization of diplomacy divests the role of the USA foreign policy decision making process because instead of focusing on a national-level maximization on interest the parties involved are engaged in “satisficing” the decision reach of their organization; therefore in actuality it makes the United States a hostage of strong organization capabilities that infiltrate inside the American federal government and influences a particular goal affecting its foreign policy directions as well as the international structure as a whole.
