In this pathbreaking work, Elisabeth S. Clemens recovers the social
origins of interest group politics in the United States. Between
1890 and 1925, a system centered on elections and party
organizations was partially transformed by increasingly prominent
legislative and administrative policy-making as well as the
insistent participation of non-partisan organizations.
Clemens sheds new light on how farmers, workers, and women invented
strategies to circumvent the parties. Voters learned to monitor
legislative processes, to hold their representatives accountable at
the polls, and to institutionalize their ongoing participation in
shaping policy. Closely analyzing the organizational politics in
three states--California, Washington, and Wisconsin--she
demonstrates how the political opportunity structure of federalism
allowed regional innovations to exert leverage on national
political institutions.
An authoritative statement on the changes in American politics
during the Progressive Era, this book will interest political
scientists, sociologists, and American historians.
