This first comprehensive appraisal of interest groups in Western
democracies in thirty years a systematic comparison of interest
group activities and their impact on public policymaking in twelve
post-industrial First World nations. Using a conceptual framework,
well-known experts provide an assessment of these interest group
systems, identify similarities and differences, and point to
current trends and future directions. This up-to-date overview and
analysis is intended for students and specialists dealing with
interest group behavior, comparative government and political
institutions, and also with each country that is surveyed. This
landmark comparative study of interest groups balances pluralist,
corporatist, and to a lesser extent neo-Marxist approaches,
synthesizing current know-how about interest groups in Australia,
Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, New
Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. Each country
chapter describes the factors that affect interest group make-up,
their operating techniques, and their influence, and chapter
demonstrates how the interest group system impacts on the public
policymaking process and how well the system is explained by the
conceptual framework it is studies. This study is viewed in terms
of an American model, a British model with its derivations, models
in continental European democracies, and in newer democracies. A
concluding chapter offers further insights, and a selected
bibliography is helpful in pointing as it does to important sources
for further study.
