Expanded Course Description
This course centers on two crucial entities in the U.S. political system: political parties and interest groups. While considerable attention will be given to the history of American political parties and the changing dynamics of group representation, the main focus of the course is on the difficulties of the current two party system in adjusting to changes in the political environment and how certain interest groups have taken over many of the previous roles and functions of political parties.
