The subgovernment model of policy making has been in popular usage for more than twenty years and has been relied upon to explain a great deal of policy output. 1 Briefly, the theory holds that tripartite alliances formed between congressional committees or subcommittees, interest groups, and government agencies are all concerned with the same substantive policy. Their relationship is mutually advantageous; through the expenditure of government funds for their common policy interests the legislator gains support; the government agency increases its budget, power, and personnel base; and the interest groups receive government largess. These three-sided alliances are also known as iron triangles, policy whirlpools, cozy little triangles, and subsystems.
