Credits: 3

Prerequisite: POL 101 or 150

An examination of political parties and interest groups as vehicles of public participation in American politics. Focuses on party role in recruiting and funding candidates for office and interest group lobbying for public policy outcomes. Presents students with a key dilemma of democracy: how participation can inform government but also bias policy in favor of the privileged few.
