DIRTY DEALS?: AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LOBBYING, POLITICAL INFLUENCE, AND CORRUPTION (3 VOLUMES)
Book ID/图书代码： 00078014B69210
English Summary/英文概要： Even before the founding of the Republic, James Madison expressed the concern that special interest influence could become "adverse to the rights of other citizens [as well as] the permanent and aggregate interests of the community." In modern times, examples of lobbying scandals and corruption associated with political campaign contributions abound—and yet our political system can and does further the larger goals of American democracy. Suited for advanced high school students, undergraduates, and general readers, this set examines the three powerful forces that affect every level of government but typically operate out of public view.
This three-volume work exhaustively covers the evolution and impact of lobbying, political influence, and corruption from the Colonial era to today. Volume 1 contains detailed scholarly essays on various aspects of lobbying, corruption, and political influence. Volume 2 comprises informative A–Z entries on people, events, laws, organizations, and legal decisions. The entries demonstrate the linkages among the topics but give equal attention to each as an independent influence on U.S. government and politics. Developments since 1990 and the extensive proliferation of the Internet and social media receive additional emphasis. Volume 3 contains primary documents that include executive orders, court cases, state and federal lobbying forms, and codes of conduct related to lobbying, campaign finance reform, and anti-corruption measures.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 即便是在共和党成立前，詹姆斯•麦迪逊就曾表达自己的担忧，即特殊利益的影响力可能会变得“违背其他公民的权利，（以及）社区团体的永久和集体利益。”在现代社会，有关于通过游说达到政治目的的丑闻和腐败的案例，更是与政治竞选时的贡献率紧密联系 --- 即便如此，我们的政治系统能够，并且确实最大程度深化了美国民主目标的不断扩大。本书适合于高中生进行延伸阅读，也适合于大学本科生或是一般性读者阅读，书中就三股强大力量进行了举证说明，这三股强大力量不仅会影响政府运作的每一个层面，并且常常运作在公众视野之外。
