虽然理解利益集团系统对于理解发达民主国家的运作仍然至关重要，但对利益集团的研究仍然是政治科学中的一个利基领域。然而，在过去的15年里，在集团政治的学术兴趣有所增长，我们反映了目前的文学状态。主要目的是评估，考虑主要的经验和理论/概念成就，但最重要的是，反思潜在的肥沃的未来研究途径。在我们看来，利益集团研究将重新焕发活力，并将受益于被重新纳入更广泛的政治学领域，更具体地说，政府的比较研究。
While understanding interest group systems remains crucial to understanding the functioning of advanced democracies, the study of interest groups remains a somewhat niche field within political science. Nevertheless, during the last 15 years, the academic interest in group politics has grown and we reflect on the state of the current literature. The main objective is to take stock, consider the main empirical and theoretical/conceptual achievements, but most importantly, to reflect upon potential fertile future research avenues. In our view interest group studies would be reinvigorated and would benefit from being reintegrated within the broader field of political science, and more particularly, the comparative study of government.
