Rezensionen

Praise for Interest Groups in American Politics: Pressure and Power, Third Edition

Personally engaging and relevant to modern times, this book explains the who, what, when, and where of lobbying in America. Even better: it explains why some interests are represented while others are not, why some lobbyists are more influential than others, and why interest groups sometimes use tactics (e.g., sponsoring advertisements, organizing protests) other than lobbying to affect government policy. Nownes draws from interviews with advocates to enliven core concepts in the study of interest groups. This book is rich both empirically and theoretically and is sure to become a common text assigned in undergraduate courses.
