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. Originally published in 1977.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand

while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
