Access Points develops a new theory about how democratic
institutions influence policy outcomes. Access Point Theory argues
that the more points of access that institutions provide to
interest groups, the cheaper lobbying will be, and, thus, the more
lobbying will occur. This will lead to more complex policy, as
policymakers insert specific provisions to benefit special
interests, and, if one side of the debate has a lobbying advantage,
to more biased policy, as the advantaged side is able to better
take advantage of the cheaper lobbying. This book then uses Access
Point Theory to explain why some countries have more protectionist
and more complex trade policies than other; why some countries have
stronger environmental and banking regulations than others; and why
some countries have more complicated tax codes than others. In
policy area after policy area, this book finds that more access
points lead to more biased and more complex policy. Access Points
provides scholars with a powerful tool to explain how political
institutions matter and why countries implement the policies they
do.
