Interest Group Systems


There needs to be a balance between structure and breathing room. A democratic corporatist group provides that necessary balance. It is focused on each societal interest, not just one. The big problem with pluralists is that multiple groups only focus on one part of society and that is inefficient in bringing out the needs of everyone else. The problem with controlled interest is that there may be too much structure and it's too focused. Usually these interest groups are part of an authoritarian government. There are bound to be these problems. A democratic corporatist group system has the right amount of structure that is needed, but it doesn't have too much structure. It has different focuses that strives to provide benefits to everyone. Unlike pluralists, people get more focused. Pluralists only have one dimension. Controlled interest groups have too much regulation and there is such thing as necessary deregulation. Too much regulation leads to unhappiness of the people. Democratic corporatist groups are in the middle of these and are beneficial to most people. When looking at all of the interest groups from a perspective, balance is the key for happiness of the people. People like balance. These other two interest group systems are completely divided. Both have positive and negative effects. Democratic corporatists have both positive effects from these other interest groups and are most beneficial to these people because of the balance it provides. Balance leads to more positive effects to not only the people, but also the government and its system, structure, and function.
