Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Ethnic interest groups are politically active groups referring to a collective identity of which being part of the same diaspora group is a significant aspect. The central question in the field of ethnic interest group research is: Under which conditions do these groups succeed in translating their interests into foreign policy? Extensive research has been conducted to seek answers to this question, yet two important aspects have not been paid attention to so far: the role of ideas and the indissoluble links between different (meta) theories. With the proposed paper I seek to put these aspects into focus and explain their role in answering the central question as to the conditions of influence:1)Ethnic interest groups directly link three different political spheres: the one of their home country, the one of their host country and the international system. Liberal IR theory allows us to focus on the connection between these different levels of foreign-policy making. 2)In order to succeed in their lobbying, ethnic interest groups must reach a certain “power threshold”. According to pluralist theory of interest group influence, policy-making is viewed as a struggle for power in which elements such as the structure and strategies of the group determine its “power”.3)Yet, reaching the power threshold is but a precondition for success. Taking social constructivism into consideration, the role of ideational factors is essential. Therefore, the ability to construct own interests in accordance with the predominant national foreign policy paradigm is decisive in generating political clout.
