Abstract
This chapter presents a detailed empirical assessment of cross-country variation in the regulation of interest groups and public benefit organizations in the stages of organizational formation and dissolution across nineteen long-lived democracies. More specifically, it covers constitutional rights, ban regulations, and legal incorporation. On that basis, it assesses differences between non-profit (NPO) regulation and the regulation of public benefit organizations (PBO regulation). The analysis stresses the importance of ‘legal inclusiveness’—that is, NPO regulation applying to public benefit organizations as well as the entanglement between NPO and PBO regulation reflecting the blurred boundary between the types of organizations such legal regulation applies to.
