Power in a Union: How Unexpected Group Partnerships Form
Power in a Union: How Unexpected Group Partnerships Form By Boris Heersink, Fordham University and Matthew J. Lacombe, Case Western Reserve University While scholars have focused extensively on the consequences of partnerships between interest groups, less attention has been paid to the historical dynamics shaping when, how, and why such groups unite. This is especially true of “unexpected” partnerships, which unite groups with seemingly little in common.
