Abstract:
Frank Baumgartner, a UNC political scientist, studied lobbyists, interest group advocates, and government officials who worked to change policy or preserve the status quo between 1999 and 2002. After six years of research, Baumgartner found that money was not the determining factor in policy outcomes. Rather, it was the accumulation of bias and influential power already in the political system.
