Abstract

In this article lobbying by several Arab countries in the United States is analyzed to answer two questions: What are the ramifications of a regime change for lobbying strategy in the United States? Does lobbying matter in securing US government support? First, the study demonstrates that regime change in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya has had no effect on their lobbying in the United States so far. The analysis of lobbying by countries which eschewed regime change—Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan—surprisingly comes to the same conclusion. Second, the ability of troubled regimes to peacefully control their own populace is more important for securing US support than lobbying.

History

Note

The lobbying data is not 100 percent valid because many entities do not register with the Foreign Agents Registration Unit of the Department of Justice, the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate, although it still can serve as a general indicator of lobbying activity.
