الملخص (بالإنجليزية): Abstract: How do interest groups shape the diffusion of policies they oppose across the states? This study explores this question using the case of teachers' unions and education reform policies. Using a novel dataset on charter, voucher, and performance pay policies spanning 1992–2013, I find evidence that strength of the teachers' unions decreases the likelihood of performance pay and that additional strength is less impactful with more Democratic control of the legislature. Teachers' unions are weakly related to a lack of charter laws and do not impact voucher laws. The latter two policies are more strongly associated with policymaker learning and education reform advocacy groups, respectively. These findings suggest that vested interests most strongly impact the policies that most fundamentally threaten their organizational strength and that this effect is conditioned on the party in power; increases in interest group strength are not necessary when policymakers are already sympathetic.

Abstract (Chinese): 摘要: 利益集团如何影响其反对的政策在各州的扩散?本研究通过探讨教师工会对教育改革政策的影响来研究这一问题。通过采用一份新颖的自1992年至2013年有关特许合同、凭证票据、以及绩效工资政策的数据, 我发现, 有证据表明, 教师工会的实力降低了绩效工资政策实行的可能性, 但在民主控制较强的立法机构中, 其影响相对较小。教师工会与合同法的缺乏呈弱相关, 但并不影响票据法。后两种政策分别与决策者学习和教育改革倡导团体两种因素更加密切相关。这些研究结果表明, 既得利益对从根本上威胁其在组织中实力的政策会施加最大化影响, 而这种影响取决于执政党。当政策制定者已经支持其议题时, 利益集团实力的增加并是并不必要的。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
