How much do pressure groups influence politics in Britain? Who gets consulted and why? What are the dynamics of group-department interaction? This work looks at both the historical relationship between government and pressure groups and at the operation of pressure politics in Britain today. The authors offer a theoretical examination of the pluralist and corporatist traditions and then assess the "high politics" consultation seen in tripartism and the "ordered" or "structured" consultation of the advisory committee system.Jordan, Grant is the author of 'Government and Pressure Groups in Britain', published 1987 under ISBN 9780198761679 and ISBN 0198761678.
