摘要

The book Agents of Influence gives us a comprehensive overview of Japan political activities in the United States when Japan invested into the US from 1980 to 1990. Author of the Total Lobbying collected data by interviewing 34 lobbyists from areas of public policy, procurement and land use. Then he analyzed these three kinds of lobbyists from the perspective of ＂what do lobbyists do other than lobbying, what does lobbying look like＂.
