Critics Review

ENDORSEMENTS

“When do labor and environmental groups join forces to tackle climate change? Geoffrey Henderson’s compelling answer couldn’t be timelier. When the prospects for progress look dimmest, alliances are forged that create and sustain future breakthroughs.”
—Jacob S. Hacker, Stanley Resor Professor of Political Science, Yale University

“In this extraordinary book, Geoffrey Henderson unravels two linked dilemmas in American politics: When do interest groups form coalitions, and how do these coalitions engage in policy advocacy? Henderson offers crucial insights not only about environmental policy—the domain on which he focuses—but also about policymaking in America more generally.”
—James Druckman, coauthor of Partisan Hostility and American Democracy and author of Experimental Thinking
