Abstract

The European Union interest group population is often characterised as being biased towards business and detached from its constituency base. Many scholars attribute this to institutional factors unique to the EU. Yet, assessing whether or not the EU is indeed unique in this regard requires a comparative research design. We compare the EU interest group population with those in four member states: France, Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands. We diff erentiate system, policy domain and organisational factors and examine their eff ects on interest group diversity. Our results show that the EU interest system is not more biased towards the representation of business interests than the other systems. Moreover, EU interest organisations are not more detached from their constituents than those in the studied countries. Everywhere, business interest associations seem to be better capable of representing their members' interests than civil society groups. These fi ndings suggest that the EU is less of a sui generis system than commonly assumed and imply the need for more fi ne-grained analyses of interest group diversity.

Abstract

De relevantie van de Europese Unie is de laatste jaren enorm toegenomen door problemen als de financiële crisis, klimaatverandering en vluchtelingenstromen. Des te belangrijker is het om te begrijpen hoe de EU werkt. Dit boek heeft tot doel de kennis over en het inzicht in de Europese politiek te vergroten. Wie het leest, leert niet alleen hoe de EU beleid maakt maar begrijpt ook waarom zij op deze wijze vormgegeven is. Onder andere de belangrijkste integratietheorieën en een beknopte geschiedenis van de Europese samenwerking komen in het boek aan bod. Daarnaast worden ook de rol van Nederland binnen de Europese Unie, de grenzen van de EU en de ‘kloof’ tussen de burger en Brussel belicht. Juist om een gefundeerde mening te kunnen vormen over ‘Brussel’ is het nuttig om te begrijpen hoe de Europese Unie werkt. De EU verandert voortdurend. Deze uitgave is dan ook volledig herzien en geactualiseerd om aan te sluiten bij de huidige status van de Europese Unie. Zo zijn er verwijzingen over de brexit opgenomen en is het oude hoofdstuk over buitenlandbeleid gesplitst in twee nieuwe hoofdstukken: Handel en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking, en Veiligheid en Defensie.
