What strategies and tactics, absent the presence of a powerful domestic ethnic lobby, are most likely to lead to success in U.S. congressional foreign policy legislation for a middle power? The study first examines all lobbying spending by both great powers and middle powers over the last 15 years in order to discern differences in spending by each set of countries. A second quantitative database of congressional foreign policy legislation from 1995-2008, focused on eight selected middle powers, is used to examine whether greater levels of spending on lobbying produces more favorable legislation in Congress. This database examines macro and micro level factors that may impact the likelihood of a foreign state achieving its goals in congressional foreign policy legislation. These two databases are joined by three in-depth case studies to understand what leads to successful lobbying by foreign states that lack both great power status and a powerful domestic ethnic lobby. The case studies add depth and context to the database by examining three recent congressional actions in order to determine the reasons behind the choice of lobbying strategy and the targets of lobbying efforts. The cases studies examine legislation related to Thailand, Indonesia, and the countries of the European Union. Using theoretically-grounded variables across a large original database, as well as interviews to detail the three case studies of legislative initiatives, this study attempts to break new ground in the study of foreign lobbies.
