(EDT), ISBN 0742538699, ISBN-13 9780742538696, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, popularly known as McCain-Feingold after its cosponsors, sought to reform campaign financing by limiting political party soft money and corporate or labor funding for certain election-related advertising. Following up on an earlier work which predicted the law's impact on political organizations and actors, Malbin (political science, State U. of New York at Albany) and fellow political scientists test their earlier theories with a review of the BCRA's impact. They find that the, at first glance, the law seems to have achieved its basic goals, but that on a more complex level it has led to an increasing financial role for nonparty organizations that has undermined some of the original intent.
