Define and explain the effects of the formation of iron triangles.

What will be an ideal response?

When interest groups form good relationships with policymakers, they create an issue network. One particularly effective issue network is known as an iron triangle, which involves a trio of interactions among mutual interests. These are comprised of members of Congress, executive departments and agencies, and organized interest groups. The iron triangles often seek policy outcomes that are mutually beneficial, and also make it difficult for outside interests to penetrate them.
