In this chapter the topic of this book is introduced. Section 1. 1
provides a brief and rather general motivation for the scientific
project undertaken here. Interest groups are a very popular object
of scientific inquiry, and they received already considerable
research attention from scholars in political science, as well as
from researchers in economics. Necessarily, then, this book adds to
a literature which is already quite developed. A detailed
positioning in this literature of the theoretical material
presented in this monograph will be given in Chapter 2. This second
chapter will also, by means of a review of the empirical
literature, provide a more general overview of the issues deemed to
be important when studying the influence of interest groups on
public policy. The outline of the entire book is described in
greater detail in Section 1. 2. As most issues involved are more
easily presented in later chapters, this introductory chapter is
kept brief. 1. 1 MOTIVATION Substantial political power is often
attributed to interest groups. Examples abound in both the
economics and political science literature, as well as in
journalistic accounts and popular publications. On many occasions
the authors express concerns about the negative impact of interest
groups on the democratic quality of government. "The interests of a
small group are served at the expense of the interests of the
general public, the taxpayers ," is an often heard popular
complaint.
