美国政治中的利益集团行为模型可以告诉我们国际非政府倡导组织（倡导INGOs）在国际关系中的存在、活动和影响？本文详细分析了美国传统利益集团与倡导性国际非政府组织之间的类比，以期为国际非政府组织的理论化提供新的思路。美国利益集团的政治理论为国际关系学无法令人满意地回答的问题提供了见解，包括在哪里可能找到国际非政府组织；国际非政府组织未来将如何发展；非政府组织的组织结构；竞争集团对外交政策和国际协定的质量和内容的影响；以及非政府组织在政策过程不同阶段的作用。将国际非政府组织视为利益集团，可以治愈将其视为身穿闪亮盔甲、自我牺牲的骑士的倾向。然而，代表狭隘利益的相互竞争的非政府组织能够以有效和高效率的政策形式为共同利益作出贡献。
Abstract What can models of interest group behaviour from American politics tell us about the existence, activities, and influence of international non-governmental advocacy organisations (advocacy INGOs) in International Relations? In this article I detail an analogy between traditional American interest groups and advocacy INGOs in order to suggest a new approach to theorising INGOs. American politics theories of interest groups provide insights to questions which International Relations has been unable to answer satisfactorily, including where INGOs are likely to be found; how INGOs will grow in the future; the organisational structure of INGOs; the impact of competing groups on the quality and content of foreign policy and international agreements; and the roles of INGOs in different stages of the policy process. Viewing INGOs as interest groups provides a curative to the tendency to view them as self-sacrificing knights in shining armour. Competing INGOs representing narrow interests can nevertheless contribute to the common good in the form of effective, efficient policy.
