Is there evidence of this term being used outside the US? A lot of it (congress, etc.) doesn't make much sense for the consitutions of other countries. If this is indeed only a US term, then the aticle should say "in the US political system" or something. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 01:57, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I have not heard this term applied to political systems outside the US; though the possibility certainly exists for a similar phenomenon to occur in other countries with legislative bodies, and so for the phrase to be adopted elsewhere as a result. To my knowledge though, it is currently a feature and phrase unique to the American political landscape. I'll amend the article to reflect this. Thanks for your input. -- Ubernetizen 19:10, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

This is not a Disambiguation page. That section should be removed.

I have studied the Iron Triangle in the context of Business Government Relations in Japan. There is - Bureacracy - MITI and MOF

         - Business - "Zaikai" or peak business associations and zaibatsus such as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sanwa, Fuji
         - The LDP - Liberal Democratic Party

Theres heaps of stuff to talk about it.....

Can the graphic be changed to just say "regulations / special favors"? Low regulation may be one affect; but often times special interest groups LIKE and WANT regulations as it keeps competition out or limited, e.g. peanut farming, appraisal/broker licensing, taxi cab (licenses) tokens, blue laws forcing all car dealers to take sunday off, et cetera. The interest group then can influence regulations as necessary through their legislative and regulatory channels, with public participation out of the lime-light.

TVA

I think that TVA case study is in need of some references. Have there been any actual studies that have shown TVA to be an iron triangle? Or is this all just 'original research'. I see no links. I'm especially interested in the 'poor farmers (especially blacks)' line. Considering that Tennessee (especially East Tennessee) has a lower percentage of blacks then the rest of the south due to the fact that cotton doesn't grown in mountains. Most of the places that people lost land were around rivers that prior to TVA constantly flooded (such as Norris).

Yeah, I wandered in from Military industrial complex, looked over the Tennessee_Valley_Authority, and I'm still not quite sure how it has anything to do with an Iron Triangle. I think this has just been added by people unhappy with the TVA, so I'm boldly cutting it. Revert if you've got reason to. 206.196.158.130 (talk) 20:50, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
