Interest organizations have always assumed a prominent place in
European politics because they link states with citizens,
institutionalize the resolution of social conflicts, regulate
important sectors of the economy and society, contribute to
workable policy outcomes and socialize members into democratic
politics. However, the plethora of interest group studies that
exist have not consolidated our understanding of these actors.
These analyses have been subject to the vagaries of different
theoretical perspectives and vary greatly in their conceptual and
methodological frameworks. Consequently, a not always complementary
and fragmented series of findings has emerged. This book is a
systematic and comprehensive effort at investigating and
integrating the state of the art in European interest group
research. Combining the analysis of interest group politics in the
EU with the comparative study of interest organizations, the book
seeks to identify the areas about which there is consolidated
knowledge, that are marked by controversies, in which considerable
uncertainty exists, that have been omitted from research programs
and that ought to be part of future studies. Thereby, it provides a
general reflection on how the study of interest group politics can
be improved by linking it to the comparative study of governance.
This book was published as a special issue of West European
Politics.
