Reviews
This book enlarges our understanding of the American policymaking process by illuminating how organized interests advance their agendas in an age of hyper-partisanship, rising economic inequality, and instant communication. Together the chapters represent an important contribution to the study of American pluralism. -Kristin A. Goss, Duke University New Directions in Interest Group Politics provides readers with an impressive range of cutting-edge research from top scholars on the most relevant topics on interest group politics. Each chapter covers foundational literature and exciting new work in a way that is, at once, both accessible and thought-provoking. -Daniel C. Lewis, University of New Orleans

Lewis, University of New Orleans The strong and consistent focus of the essays in New Directions in Interest Group Politics on core theoretical questions-and their willingness to bring data to bear on those questions-will almost certainly enliven and deepen classroom discussions about the politics of interest representation. -David Lowery, Pennsylvania State University This book provides wide ranging perspectives on interest groups that are grounded in the contributors' own research. I wish more textbooks did this so well. -Beth Leech, Rutgers University
