Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: American ethnic actors have traditionally taken a strong interest in the politics of their ancestral homelands. In particular, American Jewish, Cuban exile, and Irish American activism have significantly influenced events in the Middle East, Western Hemisphere, and the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. The paths for making change include lobbying the American and foreign governments, influencing international organizations, supporting opposition movements in the homeland, financing armed insurrection, and a variety of combinations therein. While critics often exaggerate the extent of these groups? influence over US foreign policy, Jewish and Cuban activists bring a single-mindedness and intensity to foreign affairs that has few equivalents. This raises a number of interesting questions: What range of strategies for making political change exists within each community? How do these actions affect the communal debate over the ?right? ways of making political change? What implications do their actions have for the spread of democratic values and practices?To answer these questions, I examine Irish American, Cuban exile, and American Jewish political activism during the 1990s. Of particular interest are the running debates within each community over the proper way to interact with the governments of and domestic opposition in their respective homelands. Despite their obvious differences, these groups demonstrate strikingly similar patterns of transnational activism. In short, all three ethnic groups are established, effective players in the American foreign policymaking process, and yet, there are significant portions of both communities that eschew formal politics in favor of outsider approaches, which often work to subvert national governments? official policies. I also demonstrate a turbulent relationship between ethnic activists in the US and domestic political actors in the homeland. There is ample evidence to suggest that the diffusion of democratic norms is a multidirectional, uneven, heavily contested process and is certainly not a given.
