Interest Group Behavior

Interest group behavior refers to how organized groups, such as businesses, labor unions, or environmental organizations, advocate for their specific goals and influence public policy. These groups often engage in lobbying, campaigning, and public outreach to shape legislation or government action in their favor. They gather resources, mobilize members, and build coalitions to amplify their voice and impact. While interest groups play a vital role in democracy by representing diverse viewpoints, they can also lead to power imbalances if more resources are concentrated among a few, potentially sidelining broader public interests.
