"This book is extremely useful. Ainsworth illustrates the important aspects of a largely empirical literature on interest group politics with general models of rational strategic behavior. The discussion of the game theory model is very accessible and is often set in the context of an engaging anecdote. Students reading this book will gain a deeper understanding both of interest groups and lobbying politics and of more general tools for researching broader social and political issues."
—Kevin M. Esterling, R. W. J. Scholar, University of California, Berkeley
"Ainsworth challenges us to think systematically about interest groups and gives us the theoretical framework in which to do it. This book provides a welcome combination of formal analysis and a deep understanding of the history and literature of interest groups, entertaining as it informs."
—Beth Leech, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
