Special Interest Groups

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are organizations of individuals who share common goals or interests, often in politics, business, or social issues. They aim to influence public policy and decision-making to benefit their specific causes, such as environmental protection, education, or healthcare. By lobbying government officials, organizing campaigns, and raising awareness, SIGs seek to shape legislation and public opinion. They play a significant role in democracy by representing diverse perspectives but can also raise concerns about over-representation and the influence of money in politics.
