The passage of Citizens United by the Supreme Court in 2010 sparked a renewed debate about campaign spending by large political action committees, or Super PACs. Its ruling said that it is okay for corporations and labor unions to spend as much as they want in advertising and other methods to convince people to vote for or against a candidate. This book provides a wide range of opinions on the issue. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.

In this important book, Mark S. Mizruchi presents and tests an original model of corporate political behavior. He argues that because the business community is characterized by both unity and conflict, the key issue is not whether business is unified but the conditions under which unity or conflict occurs.

This study detailed the political behavior of 57 large corporations in the United States in 1980. These corporations were selected by identifying the three largest firms whose primary operations were in each of 19 two-digit industries and that maintained a political action committee in the election cycle prior to selection. The primary goal of the study was to examine the extent to which economic interdependence and social connections between firms affected their political unity, defined in terms of similarity of behavior. The concern was with questions such as whether pairs of firms that operated in heavily interdependent industries were more likely to engage in similar political behavior than were pairs of firms in less interdependent industries.

Politics is intuitively about relationships, but until recently the network perspective has not been a dominant part of the methodological paradigm that political scientists use to study politics. This volume is a foundational statement about networks in the study of politics.

The Handbook presents a most updated and comprehensive exploration of social movement research. It not only maps, but also expands the field of social movement studies, taking stock of recent developments in cognate areas of studies, within and beyond sociology and political science. While structured around traditional social movement concepts, each section combines the mapping of the state of the art with attempts to broaden our knowledge of social movements beyond classic theoretical agendas, and to identify the contribution that social movement studies can give to other fields of knowledge.

Changes in the wording of a bill, long before it reaches the floor of Congress. If a company can get the wording it wants, according to one PAC director, then "it doesn't much matter how people vote afterwards." PAC directors are not worried by reform proposals, the book shows. The PAC is only one of many ways they can influence Congress, "a tool and nothing more." If PACs were abolished, they are confident they could find ways to evade the rules. The authors argue that.

Driven by declining profits and government regulation, a new form of class-wide business leadership has emerged: a transcorporate network that is giving a new coherence and power to business in both America and Britain. This book delineates the "inner circle" of top executives who play a leading role in this network, advising the highest levels of government and working to promote a political environment favorable to all business.

The United States is rich with political and social institutions, which create networks over which politicians and citizens communicate, coordinate, and cooperate. Traditional positive political theory, with its emphasis on two-player games as models for strategic interaction, often ignores the complexity of networked coordination and cooperation. This dissertation argues that network structure influences strategic outcomes in complex ways. Specifically, more network connections do not necessarily help groups to solve collective problems, as is often claimed in the deliberation, social capital, and social networks literatures. Chapter 1, "Bad Connection," shows that when individuals attempt to solve a distributed coordination problem (in which connected dyads must adopt compatible actions), adding connections can actually inhibit coordination. This chapter identifies the theoretical conditions under which additional connectivity is likely to degrade group performance in a common coordination problem, and presents experimental evidence to support the theory. The need to avoid the negative externalities of an over-connected network has bearing on a range of real-world political problems, such as the design of American executive agencies and the allocation of policy portfolios in parliaments. Chapter 2, "Segregation and Compromise," shows that players of a networked, 16-player battle of the sexes are much more likely to reach consensus when the actors with conflicting preferences are integrated in the network than when these actors are segregated. I argue that this suggests that social sorting may be a driving force behind political polarization in the US; as social sorting segregates liberal and conservative Americans, compromise and consensus become increasingly difficult. In Chapter 3, "Does Social Capital Habituate Cooperation," I draw a distinction between two popular theories of how denser networks generate cooperation; the social habits theory (dominant in political science) assumes that participation in social organizations acculturates members to cooperative norms, while the social incentives theory states that the shadow of the future makes cooperation rational. I show that social connectedness does not predict subjects' anonymous choices to cooperate in the lab, contradicting the popular social habits theory, and calling into question the argument that a more connected society is a more cooperative society.
