Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iron triangles, or subgovernments, describe the three-way arrangement or alliance among a private interest group, some committee or subcommittee of Congress, and a bureaucratic agency. They work together to promote their common goals and protect their shared interests. This can result in policies that benefit the interest group and the agency, but not necessarily the broader public.
