Opis: The Pro-Israel Lobby in Europe: Volume 22 - Elvira King, King Elvira

The activities of pro-Israel pressure groups and lobbyists in the US are well-known. But the pro-Israel lobby in Europe is less prominent in both academic and media accounts. In a unique account, Elvira King identifies the pro-Israeli groups which attempt to influence policy-makers and implementers in the EU, specifically examining Christian Zionist groups. Through a detailed study of the European Coalition for Israel (ECI), the only Christian Zionist lobby in Brussels, Elvira King analyses whether and how a religious group can (and can fail to) influence decision-makers in the EU. By exploring the context of European relations with Israel as well as the mechanisms through which pressure groups are able to influence EU-wide policies, King offers an analysis which demonstrates how the EU can be a site where religion and politics meet, rather than just being a secular institution. It therefore contains vital primary research for both those interested in the pro-Israel lobby as well as those examining the role of religion in politics more generally.Introduction: Religion and Lobbying in the European Union Chapter 1: Lobbying in the EU Chapter 2: Europe's Values and Religion Chapter 3: EU-Israel Relations in Context Chapter 4: The ECI Structure Chapter 5: The ECI Values Chapter 6: The ECI Strategy Conclusion
