20世纪90年代末以来，关于利益集团参与欧盟政治的研究如雨后春笋般涌现。公民应该在政治进程中扮演什么角色--他们应该通过民选代表还是通过利益集团和所谓的“公民社会组织”参与--在围绕所谓的欧盟民主赤字的政治和学术辩论中占据了中心地位。在这里，我批判性地分析了文献处理的潜在价值的利益集团和“公民社会组织”的发展，在欧盟的民主。现有的经验性案例研究得出的结论是，这些行为者的精英特征对其提高民主合法性的能力提出了质疑。最后，未来的研究应该围绕大规模的定量和定性实证研究，调查参与设计和有效参与欧盟和其他政治制度。
Research on interest group participation in European Union politics has mushroomed since the end of the 1990s. What role citizens should play in the political process – should they participate through elected representatives or through interest groups and so-called ‘civil society organisations’– has taken a central place in political and academic debates surrounding the alleged EU's democratic deficit. Here I critically analyse the literature dealing with the potential value of interest groups and ‘civil society organisations’ to the development of democracy in the EU. The existing empirical case studies lead to the conclusion that the elite characteristics of these actors question their capacity to increase democratic legitimacy. Finally, future research should be designed around large-scale quantitative and qualitative empirical studies that investigate participation designs and effective participation in the EU and other political systems.
