The Not-So Interests
Book •
Derived from his dissertation, The Not-So Interests investigates the relationship between societal groups and organized interest representation in U.S.
politics.
Grossmann examines which occupational, racial, and professional groups form interest organizations and which of those organizations attain influence in policymaking.
The book analyzes the mechanisms that grant certain groups the authority to speak for broader constituencies and how that shapes policy debates.
Using empirical data and case studies, Grossmann shows disparities in representation and the consequences for democratic responsiveness.
The work contributes to debates on pluralism, inequality, and the distribution of political voice.
