Liberal public interest groups have been a prominent and enduring feature of public policy making in the modern state. This article argues that neither the prevailing corporatist nor pluralist model of group politics adequately explains the unique character of these modern reform groups. A model of radical pluralism is developed to explain the liberal activist embrace of judicial institutions as both an instrumental resource in policy advocacy and an ideal model for the restructuring of the entire regulatory state. The author gives particular attention to the context of social power and state organization in which the reformers have developed their program for democratic change
