Theories of Strategic Nonmarket Participation: Majority‐Rule and Executive Institutions

Author

  • David P. Baron

Abstract

This paper presents theories of strategic nonmarket participation in majority‐rule and executive institutions and develops from those theories a set of principles for nonmarket strategy. The theories are based on models of vote recruitment in client and interest‐group politics and on models of common agency. The basic strategies developed are majority building, vote recruitment, agenda setting, rent‐chain mobilization, majority protection, and competitive agenda setting and vote recruitment.
