Abstract

One of the most important trends in PAC behavior has been the coordination of PAC strategies by such umbrella groups as the Business-Industrial Political Action Committee and such party organizations as the Republican National Committee. This article assesses the degree to which one set of important PACs—those representing key defense firms—has succumbed to or resisted such “nationalizing” forces. An analysis of the behavior of ten defense PACs across two consecutive election cycles indicates that defense PACs generally have remained independent actors and that their behavior appears remarkably insensitive to changes in the political environment.
