Pressure Groups and British Politics (Contemporary Political Studies)

Pressure groups remain at the center of British politics, while the development of European integration has added a new dimension to their activities. Written by one of Britain's leading analysts of pressure groups, Wyn Grant's new book provides a comprehensive introduction to relevant theoretical perspectives and the ways in which groups actually exert influence. The two key themes of the book are how pressure groups affect the distribution of power and how they impact on democracy.
