Abstract

Uloga etničkih interesnih skupina u formuliranju vanjskopolitičke agende dugo je bila zanemarena u akademskoj zajednici sve do posljednjih nekoliko godina kada dolazi pod povećalo. Proizraelske interesne skupine slove kao najmoćniji lobi u američkoj vanjskoj politici i američki državnici nalaze se pod optužbom da povlađujući interesima proizraelskog lobija ugrožavaju američke nacionalne interese. Utjecaj etničkih interesnih skupina kategorija je koju je metodološki gotovo nemoguće izmjeriti, međutim usporedbom prioriteta etničke interesne skupine i politika koje je proveo neki državnik, može se detektirati njihova kompatibilnost. Iz tog razloga, provedena je komparativna analiza između agende najmoćnije proizraelske lobi-skupine American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) i vanjskopolitičkih odluka koje je proveo Donald Trump u prve dvije godine svojeg mandata po četiri odabrana pitanja. Evidentno je da je AIPAC kao najmoćnija izraelska lobi-organizacija vršio utjecaj na Donalda Trumpa, ali nije imao ekskluzivan tretman te su brojni drugi akteri i varijable utjecali na Trumpa u formuliranju vanjske politike prema Bliskom istoku što objašnjava određene nekompatibilnosti.

Abstract (english)

The role of ethnic interest groups in formulating a foreign policy agenda has long been neglected in academia until the last few years when it has become highly discussed. Pro-Israeli interest groups are known as the most powerful lobby in US foreign policy and US statesmen are accused of harming US national interests by working in favour of the pro-Israeli lobby. The influence of ethnic interest groups is a category that is methodologically almost impossible to measure, however, by comparing the priorities of ethnic interest groups and policies implemented by a statesman, their compatibility can be detected. For this reason, a comparative analysis was conducted between the agenda of the most powerful Israeli American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and foreign policy decisions implemented by Donald Trump in the first two years of his term on four selected issues. It is evident that AIPAC, as the most powerful pro-Israeli lobby organization, exerted influence over Donald Trump, but they did not have exclusive treatment and numerous other actors and variables influenced Trump in formulating foreign policy in the Middle East, which explains certain incompatibilities.
