The action of interest organizations is not an anomaly or a dysfunction of the political system, but part of the normal functioning of representative democracies. However, citizens&#8217; opinions about these groups are often ambivalent or contradictory, and Portugal lacks knowledge about their functions, strategies, and activities.<\/p>\n\n<p>This research presents a general and systematic picture of the role of interest groups in the Portuguese political system, pointing out the challenges that their action can pose to the political system, especially in the absence of transparency and control instruments, but also their potential benefits to the democratic system, particularly as a stimulus to participation and improvement of decision-making processes.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer sc_height_medium\"><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Publication year:<\/strong> 2022<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Author: <\/strong>Marco Lisi (coord.), Ant\u00f3nio Lu\u00eds Dias, Jo\u00e3o Gaio e Silva, Jo\u00e3o Loureiro, Pedro Nunes, Rui Oliveira, Sofia Serra da Silva<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Promoter Entity:<\/strong> Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation (FFMS)<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ffms.pt\/pt-pt\/estudos\/grupos-de-interesse-no-sistema-politico-portugues\">https:\/\/www.ffms.pt\/pt-pt\/estudos\/grupos-de-interesse-no-sistema-politico-portugues<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>ISBN:<\/strong> 978-989-9118-01-0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interest groups &#8211; understood here as organizations that seek to influence political decisions by defending&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":98,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"doc_category":[330],"doc_tag":[369,368],"class_list":["post-27042","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry","doc_category-national-assembly","doc_tag-academic-research","doc_tag-legislation"],"acf":[],"year_month":"2026-04","word_count":213,"total_views":"247","reactions":{"happy":"0","normal":"0","sad":"0"},"author_info":{"name":"escolas","author_nicename":"escolas","author_url":"https:\/\/www.all4integrity.org\/en\/author\/escolas\/"},"doc_category_info":[{"term_name":"National Assembly","term_url":"https:\/\/www.all4integrity.org\/en\/tech4integrity\/knowledge-center\/categoria\/national-assembly\/"}],"doc_tag_info":[{"term_name":"Academic Research","term_url":"https:\/\/www.all4integrity.org\/en\/tech4integrity\/knowledge-center\/tag\/academic-research\/"},{"term_name":"Legislation","term_url":"https:\/\/www.all4integrity.org\/en\/tech4integrity\/knowledge-center\/tag\/legislation\/"}],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
