1. CHAPTER 9
The Nature of Interest Groups
• What role do interest groups have in influencing
public policy?
• How can we compare and contrast political parties
and interest groups?
• Why do people see interest groups as both good and
bad for American politics?
2. CHAPTER 9
The Role of Interest Groups
• Interest groups are private organizations whose
members share certain views and work to shape
public policy.
• Public policy includes all of the goals a government
sets and the various courses of action it pursues as it
attempts to realize these goals.
• Interest groups exist to shape public policy.
3. CHAPTER 9
Political Parties and Interest Groups
Nominations
• Political parties are responsible for the nominating process, while
interest groups hope to influence those nominations.
Primary Focus
• Political parties are interested in winning elections and controlling
government, while interest groups are interested in influencing the
policies created by government.
Scope of Interest
• Political parties concern themselves with the whole range of public
affairs, while interest groups tend to focus on issues that their members
are concerned about.
Political parties and interest groups differ in three striking respects: (1) in
the making of nominations,
(2) in their primary focus, and
(3) in the scope of their interests.
4. CHAPTER 9
Valuable Functions of Interest Groups
• Interest groups raise awareness of public affairs, or
issues that concern the people at large.
• Interest groups represent people who share attitudes
rather than those who share geography.
• Interest groups provide specialized information to
government agencies and legislators.
• Interest groups are vehicles for political participation.
• Interest groups keep tabs on various public agencies
and officials.
• Interest groups compete.
5. CHAPTER 9
Criticisms
• Some groups have an influence far out of proportion
to their size or importance.
• It can be difficult to tell who or how many people are
served by a group.
• Groups do not always represent the views of the
people they claim to speak for.
• In rare cases, groups use tactics such as bribery,
threats, and so on.
