A valuable introduction to the ways in which business groups, churches, professional associations and other organizations try to influence the government. It describes what is effective and what is not. Uniquely, it treats the methods of influencing government within a comparative framework; it shows how Washington representation by interest groups parallels Washington activity and representation by Congress; and it examines the lobbying profession sociologically.
