Please join the FACT Coalition and Transparency International U.S. for a conversation with Casey Michel, author of the new book, Foreign Agents: How American Lobbyists and Lawmakers Threaten Democracy Around the World. We’ll discuss the book, as well as how the U.S. should strengthen its policies, legal frameworks, and enforcement actions to address rising threats to democracy.
Foreign Agents describes how some American professionals have “opted to take their talents to despots and dictators willing to foot the bill and degrade American democracy in the process.”
The book spotlights laws, such as the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and legislative proposals designed to ban former U.S. government officials from lobbying for foreign regimes. |
