Bio:
Salisbury
Salisbury
Salisbury, the author of many books on urban government, is an expert on how lobbyists and interest groups work inside The Beltway. He studies how the Washington community of lawyers, congressional staffs, and interest groups interact to make national policy. He has written on how the electoral process and campaigning have been influenced by (and are contributing to) the decline in civic responsibility and sense of community in America. He notes that politics have become increasingly partisan as opposing factions square off along party lines and refuse to make trade-offs. He has served as consultant to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the U.S. Office of Education and the National Institutes of Health.
