Interest Groups Unleashed
Editat de Paul S. Herrnson, Stacey L. Joyner, Clyde Wilcoxen Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 20 iun 2013
New scholarship for a new paradigm in interest groups politics…
The 2010 campaign and election was pivotal: the Republican takeover of the House, the advent of “super PACs,” and record-breaking sums spent on a midterm election. More than ever before, interest groups were able to mobilize new resources and new technologies in a shifting set of House and Senate races. This timely volume explores—in a series of lively case studies—a cross-section of groups, communities, and networks that vividly illustrates the “unleashing” of interest group activity in the electoral process in response toCitizens Unitedand other court cases and events.

Descriere
The
2010
campaign
and
election
was
pivotal:
the
Republican
takeover
of
the
House,
the
advent
of
"super

and
record-breaking
sums
spent
on
a
midterm
election.
More
than
ever
before,
interest

were
able
to
mobilize

in
a
shifting
set
of
House

races.
This
timely
volume
explores—in
a

of
lively
case
studies—a
cross-section
of
groups,
communities,
and
networks
that
vividly
illustrates
the
"unleashing"
of
interest
group
activity
in
the
electoral
process
in
response
toCitizens
