Political Parties and Interest Groups

Abstract

The link between political parties and interest groups is clear: Interest groups seek to influence political parties and members of parliament, who, in turn, often need external input from interest groups. Nevertheless, these political actors have only rarely been studied together. This panel therefore aims to bring together scholars from the subfields of interest group studies and party research.
