Responses to Corruption: Regulation and Deregulation of Campaign Money in the US and Minnesota
Prof. Joseph Kunkel, Department of Political Science, Minnesota State University at Mankato
Election campaigns in the US depend on private and corporate financial donations, and it is common practice that successful candidates reward major fund raisers with representative posts or other favors. While some frown on these and other practices and call for campaign finance regulation, others see such regulations as infringing on the right to freedom of speech. Prof. Kunkel traces the various perspectives and their implications.
