While interest groups have long been at the center of the study of
American politics, most explorations of their influence have tended
to dwell on lobbying. When political scientists do look at groups'
electoral activities, they tend to study contribution activity by
political action committees. But a whole world of political
activity has emerged that is not confined to PAC contributions.
Activities such as issue advocacy, independent expenditures, and
voter mobilization go well beyond the limits set by federal law.
More Than Money is the first attempt to understand this world of
interest group action in a theoretical fashion. It links data
gathered through ten case studies to broader ideas about interest
groups, political parties, and congressional elections. It examines
what resources groups possess for political action, how they are
linked to the incentives groups offer to members, and how groups
can apply those resources effectively. It also looks at how groups
adapt to changing political and legal contexts, and provides a
better understanding of the relationship between interest groups
and political parties. More Than Money does all this in a clear,
accessible style and with numerous quotations from top players at
interest groups such as NARAL and the NRA.
