Summary:

Organized interest groups have always played important roles in American politics, helping to connect Americans to their government. Here twenty-eight leading scholars and practitioners offer new essays and commentaries on the electoral, congressional, executive, and judicial connections between interest groups and the Washington policy-makers they seek to influence. This volume is the first to examine the impact on interest group activity of the Republican takeover of Congress and the Democratic takeover of the White House.
