Interest Groups and Lobbying: Pursuing Political Interests in America [Hardcover]

Praise for?Interest Groups and Lobbying: Pursuing Political Interests in America,?Third Edition

Holyoke's text is fantastic for political science majors and non-majors alike. It covers major concepts and theories of interest group studies in an accessible way. Especially in the new edition, it balances analysis of cutting-edge political science data with illustrative and well-chosen case studies that help students integrate their learning with issues in their daily lives. Perhaps most impressively, it helps students learn the basics of formal models of group behavior in a way that is clear, accessible, and insightful. An easy choice for my class on political organizations that I look forward to turning to again and again.
