In many contemporary armed conflicts, belligerent parties fight not only on the battlefield, but also on the diplomatic front in the world’s capitals. In Washington and other US cities, warring groups often hire high-profile public relations professionals in order to gain access to US policymakers and influence policy. This brief, by Bush School faculty member Reyko Huang, uses the ongoing conflict in Libya to illustrate the foreign war lobby in the United States and examine why fighting groups hire American lobbyists, far from the war front.
