MLS 564 - Ethics, Political Interest Groups and the Political Process

3.00 credit hours
A study of the rise of interest groups and their enormous effects on the American political system. The course explores the workings of various groups related to how they target potential members, lobby Congress and other governmental bodies and conduct campaigns to advance their interests. The ethical dilemmas of such activities, including the often corrosive effect of money and the often uneasy relationship of interest group activity and federal regulations, will also be a major concern.
