"Choices and Changes" is the most comprehensive examination to date of the impact of interest groups on recent American electoral politics. Richly informed, theoretically and empirically, it is the first book to explain the emergence of aggressive interest group electioneering tactics in the mid-1990sOCoincluding OC soft moneyOCO contributions, issue ads, and OC 527sOCO (IRS-classified political organizations).
