1. The Power Game
How Washington Works
A investigative account of how power is wielded in Washington, following politicians, bureaucrats, lobbyists, business leaders and journalists to show how policy is really made through negotiation, alliances, patronage, media management and financial influence. Through detailed case studies of political battles and institutional conflicts, it reveals the informal networks, strategic trades and procedural maneuvers that shape outcomes, arguing that authority in the capital is diffuse, transactional and often at odds with public rhetoric and democratic ideals.
