Martin Lodge
Twenty-seven book reviews were published in volume
74 of PAR . All made a contribution to the field by
highlighting important new books, critiquing their
value, and promoting more theoretical and empiri-
cal research in subject areas. Martin Lodge s review of
Preventing Regulatory Capture: Special Interest Influence
and How to Limit It stood out for its blend of book
description, analysis, critique, and future develop-
ment. His critique is balanced, and his recommen-
dation for future work that integrates international
experiences and research with the exclusive focus on
the United States as presented in the book is well
taken and argued. Professor Lodge is recognized
for writing the best book review published in the
74th volume.
