Persuasion
Special interest theory suggests that policymakers are influenced by a relatively small group of individuals or organizations that have a strong interest in a specific policy outcome. These groups, known as special interest groups, often have the resources and expertise to shape policy decisions in their favor. Critics argue that this can lead to policies that prioritize the interests of these groups over the broader public interest.

The six interest groups are: - Public Sector Interest Groups - Foreign Policy Interest Groups - Public Interest Groups - Ideological or Single- Issue Interest Groups - Economic Interest Groups - Lobbyists
Interest groups lobby policymakers.
