Lamar lives in a country with a dictator who is unresponsive to most needs of the citizens. Lamar is part of a TAN that is trying to make the leader more responsive, with few results. Explain how Lamar’s TAN might use the boomerang modelto achieve its desired results.
What will be an ideal response?
If NGOs within a state are unsuccessful in changing the state’s actions that they oppose (which is quite often the case in authoritarian states), they can use TANs to mobilize individual opinion leaders, NGOs, other states, and IOs, which can then pressure the state from outside. State regimes that might be unwilling to change as a result of domestic pressures will often change their behavior when it becomes clear that their behavior has hurt them internationally.
