An issue network refers to a loose, informal relationship between public officials, interest groups, and activists who are all concerned with the same policies. They do not necessarily have a permanent or ongoing relationship, but come together and collaborate on specific issues or topics. This term is commonly used in political science literature to describe the complex web of actors and interests involved in policymaking. Iron triangle refers to a more specific type of relationship between a government agency, a congressional committee, and an interest group that work together on a particular issue. Membership association is a formal organization that requires paying dues and has a structured leadership hierarchy. New Politics movement and 527 committee are focused on campaign finance reform and political advocacy, rather than policymaking.
