6. IV. Interest Groups
Interest articulation or interest
group can also occur through the actions
of group that represent a set of people.
An interest group is a group of people
working together through an organization
and advocating on behalf of shared
interests.
Interest group, also called special
interest group or pressure group, any
association of individuals or
organizations, usually formally organized,
that, on the basis of one or more shared
concerns, attempts to influence
public policy.

7. IV. Interest Groups
• There are four main types of Interest Group
• 1. Anomic Groups:
• Anomic groups are groups that suddenly form when many an event that stimulates
frustration, disappointment, or other strong emotion.
• 2. Nonassociational Groups:
• Nonassociational groups are based on common interests and identities of ethnicity,
region, religion, occupation, or perhaps kinship. Because of these ties,
nonassociational groups have more continuity than anomic group. But
nonassociational groups rarely are well organized, and their activity is episodic.
• 3. Institutional groups:
• Institutional groups are based on formal organizations that have other political or
social functions in addition to interest articulation. Business corporations, political
parties, legislature, armies, bureaucracies, and churches often have separate political
groups with special responsibility for representing a group’s interest.

8. IV. Interest Groups
4. Associational Groups:
Associational groups are
formed explicitly represent the
interest of a particular group,
such as trade unions, chamber
of commerce, manufacture’s
associations, and ethnic
associations.
These organizations have
procedures for formulating
interests belief in a political
ideology or policy goal.

9. V. Civil Society
What and who is
Civil Society ?
Political analysts
devoted increasing
attention to whether an
extensive network of
interest groups and
public participation in
these groups create civil
society. A society in
which people are
involved in social and
political interactions free
of state or regulation.
According to the
World Bank: “Civil society
... refers to a wide array of
organizations: community
groups, non-governmental
organizations [NGOs], labor
unions, indigenous groups,
charitable organizations,
faith-based organizations,
professional associations,
and foundations.”

10. VI. Interest Group Systems
three main types of interest group systems:
1.Pluralist Interest Group System
2.Democratic Corporatist Interest Group Systems
3.Controlled Interest Group Systems

11. 1.Pluralist Interest Group System
 Multiple groups may represent a single societal interest.
 Group membership is voluntary and limited.
 Groups often have a loose or decentralized organizational
structure.
 There is a clear separation between interest groups and the
government.

12. 2. Democratic Corporatist Interest Group Systems
A single peak association normally represents each societal
interest.
Membership in the peak association is often
Compulsory and nearly universal.
Peak associations are centrally organized and direct
the actions of their members.
Groups are often systematically involved in making
and implementing policy.

13. 3. Controlled Interest Group Systems
■ There is a single group for each social sector.
■ Membership is often compulsory.
■ Each group is normally hierarchically organized.
■ Groups are controlled by the government or its
agents in order to mobilize support for government
policy.

14. VII. Access to the Influential
 To be effective, interest groups must be able to reach
key policymakers through channels of political access.
Legitimate and constitutional channels of access
Illegitimate, coercive access channels of accessc

15. 1. Legitimate Access Channels
 Personal connections: effective means of
shaping attitudes and conveying messages
 Mass media: mobilize support
 Political parties: represent interests
 Legislatures: lobby target
 Government bureaucracies: policymaking
authority

16. 2. Coercive Access Channels and Tactics
 Feelings of relative deprivation motivate
people to act aggressively.
 Source of frustration, discontent, and
anger
 Greater discontent/anger yields greater
probability of collective violence
 Riots (often spontaneous)
 Strikes/obstructions (coordinated)
 Political terror tactics (assassination, armed
attacks, mass bloodshed)

17. VIII. Interest Group Development
 Diversity of interest groups is a byproduct of
modernization.
 Successful democratic development leads to the
emergence of complex interest group systems.
 Not an automatic process – many problems involved:
 Level of trust shared among members of society
 Authoritarian parties/bureaucracies may suppress
autonomous interest groups
 Bias within the interest group system
 Levels of participation in associational groups
declining

18. Citizens hold various values or preferences that they wish to
promote in public policy, such as protecting the environment or
encouraging steel production, and these amount to their interests in
government and politics. Citizens with similar political interests often
organize into interest groups, and the related concepts of interest
articulation.
