Lobbying for the People Author: Jeffrey M. Berry

ISBN: 9780691611778 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 344 Published: 21 February 2015 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 23.5 x 15.5 x 1.8 Description:

In recent years there has been growing recognition of the role played in American politics by groups such as Common Cause, the Sierra Club, and Zero Population Growth. This book considers their work in terms of their origins and development, resources, patterns of recruitment, decision-making processes, and lobbying tactics.

How do public interest groups select the issues on which they work? How do they allocate their resources? How do they choose strategies for influencing the federal government? Professor Berry examines these questions, focusing in particular on the process by which organizations make critical decisions. His findings are based on a survey of eighty-three national organizations with offices in Washington, D.C. He analyzes in detail the operation of two groups in which he worked as a participant.
