THE PEOPLE’S LOBBY: ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION AND THE RISE OF INTEREST GROUP POLITICS IN THE UNITED STATES

Book ID/图书代码： 06B03613

English Summary/英文概要： In this pathbreaking work, Elisabeth S. Clemens recovers the social origins of interest group politics in the United States. Between 1890 and 1925, a system centered on elections and party organizations was partially transformed by increasingly prominent legislative and administrative policy-making as well as the insistent participation of non-partisan organizations.

Clemens sheds new light on how farmers, workers, and women invented strategies to circumvent the parties. Voters learned to monitor legislative processes, to hold their representatives accountable at the polls, and to institutionalize their ongoing participation in shaping policy. Closely analyzing the organizational politics in three states—California, Washington, and Wisconsin—she demonstrates how the political opportunity structure of federalism allowed regional innovations to exert leverage on national political institutions.

An authoritative statement on the changes in American politics during the Progressive Era, this book will interest political scientists, sociologists, and American historians.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这份开创性工作中，Elisabeth S. Clemens揭示了美国利益集团政治的社会根源。1890至1925年间，围绕选举和政党组织为中心的制度被日益突出的立法和行政决策以及无党派组织坚持不懈的参与所逐渐转变。

Clemens关注的是农民、工人和妇女是如何研究出了规避政党的策略。选民们学会了监督立法进程，在投票时保持他们的有效代表份额，以及在政策形成过程中使他们的参与制度化。通过对加利福尼亚州、华盛顿州和威斯康辛州等三个州的组织政治的密切分析，她展示了联邦制的政治机会结构是如何让区域创新在国家政治机构中发挥杠杆作用的。

本书权威解读了进步时代美国政治的变化，同时也吸引了政治学家、社会学家和美国历史学家的目光。(LNL)
