Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stakeholders are individuals or groups who have a direct interest or "stake" in a regulatory rule or decision. They are typically directly affected by the rule or decision and may have specific concerns or goals related to it. "Amicus curiae" refers to individuals or groups who are not direct parties to a case but provide information or arguments to the court, while "partisans" and "lobbyists" refer more broadly to individuals or groups who advocate for particular policies or positions. "Iron triangles" refer to the close relationships between regulatory agencies, interest groups, and congressional committees that often develop around specific policy areas.
