The role of organized interest groups in policy making
"The book collects together ten papers which give a wide and deep overview of the most recent economic studies in the fields of lobbying and special interest groups. This area of research has been attracting a growing attention in the economic literature. The papers are both theoretical and empirical and throw new light on the role of organized interest groups both in pre- and post-election politics. Many political issues are tackled, such as political polarization, electoral competition, public debt taxation, trade policy, social security, EU enlargement and decision making processes, environmental policies, and public spending."--Jacket.
