Comprehensive Analysis of Interest Groups
Analyzing Interest Groups integrates the history and analysis of interest groups with formal theory (including game theory, social choice theory, and spatial models of voting), resulting in a comprehensive presentation on the influence of interest groups. Students will gain a strong foundation for understanding and discussing current interest group issues.
Numerous Case Examples
Analyzing Interest Groups employs numerous examples from different branches of government to illustrate theoretical points of the discussion. Among the interest groups discussed are the NAACP and the civil rights movement, Greenpeace and the Sierra Club, the NRA, the AARP, welfare rights organizations, early farm groups, and veterans organizations.
Flexible Design
Concise yet thorough, Analyzing Interest Groups is suitable for use in a range of courses, whether as a primary introductory text or a supplement in an upper level course.
