However, externally-sponsored subversion of U.S. decision making has been a shadowy threat to American policy for the better part of a century. Political Influence Operations provides an incisive examination of how external actors have infiltrated American society—from lobbyists, to academia, to the media—in order to further their own objectives.    Tromblay draws upon historical examples to demonstrate how U.S. adversaries – and sometimes its ostensible allies – have used the openness of American society against the country’s best interests.  By identifying vulnerabilities and exposing the underlying dynamics of foreign influence, the book provides a roadmap for U.S. governmental and private sector entities to navigate the currents of international engagement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTromblay boldly shows how the very structure of the U.S. government, American political culture, and modern political processes and actors converge to provide foreign entities with opportunities to influence U.S. politics. This is a disturbing but needed book. -- Nicholas Dujmovic, Assistant Professor of Politics, The Catholic University of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Chapter One: Undiplomatic Activities  Chapter Two: Cashing In: How Foreign Powers Leverage Hired U.S. Proxies as Intelligence Intermediaries  Chapter Three: In Search of a Good Cause for a Bad Reason  Chapter Four: Assaulting the Ivory Tower  Chapter Five: Skewing the Presses: Foreign Manipulation of Media  Chapter Six: Corrupting Culture: Foreign Actors’ Exploitation of the U.S. Melting Pot Ethos  Chapter Seven: An Un-Fara-Fight  Conclusion","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041100759383,"sku":"9781538103319","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538103319.jpg?v=1750948951","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/political-influence-operations-how-foreign-actors-seek-to-shape-u-s-policy-making-9781538103319","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
