Non-Governmental and Intergovernmental organizations have a tremendous effect on policy. The domestic agenda also highly effects policy. We theorize that states that have a large number of arms manufacturers will have more association with NGOs and IGOs, and as a result will have a more liberal arms trade policy. A state with NGO and IGO involvement that doesn’t have many or any gun manufacturers will be likely to favor a more restrictive arms control policy. Another aspect of our theory suggests that third world states with high poverty will likely join certain NGOs and IGOs to obtain arms easily, if they join one of these organizations at all. Preliminary conclusions suggest that NGO and IGO activity is driven by domestic interests. This would suggest states operate within the constraints of a two-level game. Using theories drawn from comparative agenda setting we theorize that the ways in which governments set the agenda greatly effects the state’s membership in IGOs and NGOs dealing with small arms trade. We feel this is a contribution to the field of political science because it helps one understand a states relationship with NGOs and IGOs, it also aids in the understanding of how domestic interests drive international policy choices.
