Reviews
"An excellent book, theoretically rich and empirically sound. Choices and Changes is interesting, understandable, and informative. Franz's overall analysis is the most thorough of any book that I have read in the interest group literature. His extensive data analysis fills a major gap in the literature." Peter L. Francia, East Carolina University, author of The Future of Organized Labor in American Politics "Academics are the primary audience for this graph-rich book, but dedicated (and patient) journalists and Hill staffers may also pick up some useful data points." Campaigns and Elections "While the volume represents a well-crafted, theoretically based piece of social science research of use to academic specialists interested in campaign finance, other readers concerned about the impact of money on American politics generally will find the material not overly technical, and very readable and informative...Perhaps Franz' most original contribution to the literature is found in his analysis of how the changing regulatory environment affected a group's choice of electioneering tactics."
