Abstract

ABSTRACT While research on organised interests in Central and Eastern Europe has recently boomed, most studies focus on the micro-level, i.e. organisational development, and macro-level factors such as Europeanisation and democratic backsliding. So far however, little research has been dedicated to the meso-level, that is inter-organisational cooperation. We argue that inter-organisation cooperation in the region is driven by (a combination of) three central factors: organisational anxiety, democratic backsliding and Europeanisation effects. We draw on an original survey dataset of Czech, Polish, Hungarian, and Slovenian interest groups, which enables us to test our hypotheses with a view to the four country contexts.
