Hollow Core Private Interests in National Policy Making

Critics of the policy-making process argue that private interest groups exert too much influence on the decisions of government, but only rarely has this proposition been examined systematically. The Hollow Core draws on interviews with more than 300 interest groups, 800 lobbyists, and 300 government officials to assess the efforts of private organizations to influence federal policy in four areas--agriculture, energy, health, and labor policy.Heinz, John P. is the author of 'Hollow Core Private Interests in National Policy Making' with ISBN 9780674405257 and ISBN 0674405250.
