Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In more developed democracies, such as the US and Germany, interest groups both shape and promote public opinion.

This anthology tries to understand why interest groups do not affect or advance public opinion in South Africa and then suggests how interest groups can redress the situation.
