The Interest Group Society
Considered the gold standard of interest group politics, this widely used text analyzes interest groups within the intuitive framework of democratic theory, enabling readers to understand the workings of interest groups within the larger context of our political system. Comprehensive coverage includes not only the traditional farm, labor, and trade associations, but also citizen groups, public interest organizations, corporations, and public interest firms. It covers new social movements and networks of organizations and activists.
Brief in page count yet comprehensive in coverage, the book is flexible for different class settings. The books rich content and lean size allow it to stand alone as the centerpiece of a course, or be assigned as one of several texts.

Preface
It has been nine years since I last updated The Interest Group Society. Many things have changed since the last edition, and many have remained the same. The greatest change has been in the way interest groups are involved in elections. When Jeffrey Berry wrote the first edition of this book, interest groups were primarily involved in contributing to candidates through their PACs. Today there is a dazzling array of organizational forms through which interest groups can be involved, including PACs, Super PACs, 527 committees, 501(c)(4) and (c)(6) groups, among others. Each of these organizational forms entails a different set of regulations, which groups that seek maximum impact on elections circumvent in a variety of creative ways. Interest group activity in elections is far less transparent than it was when the last edition appeared. Large sums of dark money pass between various organizations, making it difficult and often impossible to know who provided the funding.
