To answer questions about what determines when and why people participate in politics and how organized interests try to influence legislative decision-making, we must understand how and why political leaders recruit which members of the public into the political arena. Referring to survey data and data from interest group interviews, Goldstein develops and tests a theory of how choices in a grass-roots campaign are made.
