A comparative study of American interest group politics and party politics

Interest group and political party are two important composing parts in the democratic political progress in the US. With the development of politics, economy, technology and culture in the new period, social problems have become more severe and complicated, which pushes the interest groups to play a more important role in political activities. This also presents a great threat to the party politics. This article tries to analyze the unclear-cut and correlated relationship between the interest groups and party politics, to reveal the elements that form this specific relationship. It is argued that interest groups have to sever the party politics in the end.
