Interessenvertretung
Interessenvertretung, or interest representation, involves organizations or groups advocating for specific issues, rights, or policies on behalf of their members or stakeholders. These groups, such as labor unions, industry associations, or advocacy organizations, work to influence government decisions, legislation, and public opinion to align with their goals. They provide expertise, gather support, and engage in dialogue to shape policies that affect their members, ensuring that their perspectives are considered in the decision-making process. Essentially, it’s a way for groups to stand up for their interests within the political and social system.
