Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An iron triangle refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between three groups: interest groups, bureaucrats, and legislators. In the context of military spending, these three groups work together to ensure that military budgets and contracts are maintained or expanded, as they all benefit from it in various ways. This can create a self-perpetuating cycle of military spending, as each group has a stake in maintaining and increasing funding. The term "defense complex" is also sometimes used to describe this type of alliance, but "iron triangle" is the more common term used in political science. The other options are not accurate descriptions of this concept.
