Don't Steal My Steel

Do some interest group systems make it easier for interest groups to succeed? This book answers the question by looking at the relationship between interest groups. If all interest groups either cooperate or compete for influence, the chances of a special interest policy decrease. This conclusion is derived from several empirical analyses which use various qualitative and quantitative methods, such as case studies, fsQCA and panel analysis. The book contributes to the literature on interest groups and lobbying, as well as to the broader literature on comparative political science and political economy. Furthermore, the book caters to readers interested in the political economy of resource policies in general.
