This three-volume set explores the multiple roles that parties and
interest groups have played in American politics from the nation's
beginnings to the present. This set serves as an essential resource
for analyzing the emergence and impact of parties and interest
groups in the American political system and for understanding the
systematic and structural bases for interest group and party
behavior. Volume One opens with an introduction by the editors that
provides a general overview of the eras and identifies important
themes and events, laying a foundation on which the subsequent
essays and primary documents for each interest group or political
party builds. Narrative essays focus on how specific parties or
interest groups have shaped or reflect a particular set of events
or general themes in each of the eras in American political
history. Topical entries reflect key themes developed throughout
the volumes. Entries range from important founding groups and
parties to contemporary political action committees and policy
advocacy groups. The set also includes primary source documents
(e.g., letters, platform documents, court decisions, flyers, etc.)
that reveal important dimensions of the corresponding group's
political influence. Provides expert analysis of the emergence and
effect of parties and interest groups on the American political
system Offers a broader and more complete understanding of both
parties and interest groups in American politics than has been
offered previously Helps readers to move beyond an event-driven
knowledge of parties and interest groups to explore the systematic
and structural bases for interest group and party behavior Includes
primary source documents that allow readers to discover for
themselves the means by which groups or parties place items on the
public agenda and thereby come to (or sometimes fail to) shape our
governmental system
