Description
Series 8, Subseries 7, Study of the Political Process (Political Parties, Pressure Groups, and Professional Associations), 1954-1961, contains reports, memoranda, correspondence, papers, and transcripts relating to the study's search for an answer to the fundamental question: Is self- government possible in the modern world? It was not the intention of the study to answer this question but to “raise the issue from neglect to the center of attention, and throw what light it can upon the subsidiary issues that this great question contains.” The study, under the guidance of staff administrator Hallock Hoffman, focused on such subsidiary issues as local, state and national political party organization; organization of the staff system in the United States Congress, the Presidency and the Presidential nominating systems; and the new uses of the mass media in the campaigns.
