Advocacy groups, policy subsidies, and policy change: The case of teacher evaluations
研究了倡导团体如何通过提供信息和能力帮助政策制定者克服既得利益集团的阻力，推动教师评价政策变革，基于美国50州回归分析和明尼苏达、威斯康星案例。
Abstract How are powerful interest groups with a stake in the status quo overcome? Policymakers succeed in enacting policies against the preferences of powerful vested interests when they delegate the costs associated with challenging those vested interests to advocacy groups. Advocacy groups can provide information and capacity, freeing allied policymakers from relying on vested interests. Using a 50‐state regression analysis of teacher evaluation policymaking in 2010 and 2011 and case studies of the experiences of Minnesota and Wisconsin, I find evidence that where advocacy groups assist policymaker allies, they can successfully pass and implement policy change against the preferences of powerful vested interests.
