Give an example of how a special interest group can influence a fictitious state’s foreign policy.

What will be an ideal response?


Examples will vary but should show a thorough understanding of how special interest groups can influence a government's foreign policy. For example, in the state of Tatinia, there is a special interest group that represents orange farmers. Oranges are a major crop in Tatinia. However, recently imported oranges have threatened this agricultural industry. To sway the president of Tatinia to impose high tariffs on imported oranges, Orange Growers United has pledged a huge donation to the president to help him win reelection.
