"This book addresses a critically important topic that has received scant attention from scholars: in a system of separated powers how do interest groups choose venues in which to pursue their policy goals? It is well-designed, well-written, and makes a significant contribution." — Eric S. Heberlig, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte
