The Enduring Democracy
Numerous noneconomic interest groups seek to influence public policy in America today. Choose one noneconomic interest group you are familiar with and briefly describe it. Is it a public-interest group, an issue or ideological group, or a government interest group? What characteristics of the group make it that type of group? Discuss the tactics interest groups use to interact with government members and influence public policy. How does the interest group you selected use these tactics? How successful are they at achieving their policy goals? Do you think it is appropriate for interest groups to have access to government officials and potentially influence them? Why or why not?
