The 1980s have witnessed increased concern over the impact of
ethnic interest groups on foreign policy, particularly in the case
of Jewish lobbying efforts in behalf of the state of Israel. In
this study, Professor Goldberg presents a detailed comparison of
American and Canadian Jewish lobbying organizations over the past
fifteen years, offering a careful assessment of their influence on
foreign policy decisions affecting the Middle East. Professor
Goldberg focuses primarily on the two most prominent Jewish foreign
policy interest groups: the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC) and the Canada-Israel Committee (CIC). He
examines the response of these organizations to a series of crisis
issues, beginning with the Arab-Israeli war of 1973 and including
the current Palestinian uprising. Using a set of analytical
criteria, he correlates their responses with the conduct of U.S.
and Canadian foreign policy during the same period. His analysis
shows how the variable successes and failures of the two interest
groups have been influenced both by differences in the political
systems in which they operate and their own internal political and
organizational characteristics. In addition to presenting
significant new information on the Israel lobby, this analysis
provides a groundwork for future studies of ethnic foreign policy
interest groups operating in varying political systems and
cultures. This volume is a valuable resource for the Jewish
community as well as scholars and professionals in Middle East
studies, ethnic studies, foreign policy, and related fields.
