Description
Edward C. Banfield's Political Influence examines the structures and dynamics of influence in determining who makes decisions on vital issues in a large metropolitan area.
The author applies his conceptual scheme to six case studies of political influence, showing how influence was used in certain civic controversies, before interpreting these findings and developing theories that apply generally to situations involving political influence.
Through its depth and sophistication, Political Influence provides insight into the key roles played by officeholders, newspapers, business interests, the city council, and minority groups in shaping decision-making processes.
