Different Preferences, Different Politics: A Demand-and-Structure Explanation

August 1987 · Political Research Quarterly

Kenneth Koford

Different types of legislative politics are explained by the distribution and intensity of legislators' demands. Demands are legislators' willingness to pay for victory on a bill. Different demand distributions require different institutional structures and "politics" for the legislators to obtain the results they want. The types of politics are similar to Lowi's typology of interest-group ... [Show full abstract] interaction. The paper describes the demand distributions formally, and then identifies the institutional structures and "politics" required to write and pass bills for distributive, regulative, and redistributive demand distributons. Applying the principle to case studies, differences from Lowi's classification are found; the actual politics are better predicted by the demand approach.
