These in-depth profiles of major non-governmental organizations
show how they compete to protect consumer or business interests
ranging across all stages of American life from baby foods to
funerals. The analyses of 109 interest groups portray a wide array
of the political tactics that have helped shape consumer policy
over the past generation. Drawing upon materials from the
organizations themselves, as well as from other original and
secondary sources, the profiles depict who the groups represent,
their goals, how they were founded, their resources, organizational
structures and procedures, the services and benefits that they
offer, the issues that they address, and the tactics that they use
to affect federal policy. Students, teachers, policymakers,
administrators, consumer and business activities and interest group
watchdogs will learn through this pioneering new reference who gets
what in the marketplace and in politics and why. Drawing upon
materials from the organizations themselves, as well as from other
original and secondary sources, the profiles depict who the groups
represent, their goals, how they were founded, their resources,
organization structures and procedures, and the services and
benefits that they offer. The profiles also describe specific
issues that the groups address, their positions, and their tactics
and ways in which they try to affect federal policymaking-from
boycotts to group buying, research, testifying before congressional
committees, serving on executive department advisory committees,
election candidate ratings, filing lawsuits, publicizing research
results, becoming media experts on particular subjects, and
persuading members to contact a member of Congress. Students,
teachers, policymakers, administrators, consumer and business
activists and watchdogs will learn through this pioneering new
reference who gets what in the marketplace and in politics and why.
