Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough examination of how pressure groups shape U.S. policy and processes. The author traces the history of pressure groups in the U.S. from the early 1900s to the present day and discusses the emergence of new groups in recent years, such as the environmental and consumer movements. The book also examines the tactics used by pressure groups to influence public opinion and government policy, such as lobbying, advertising, and public relations.

However, the author also warns that pressure groups can be harmful to democracy if they are not held accountable to the public.
