Portugal Interest Groups
Despite the flourishing of democracy since 1974,
interest
groups were not a significant force in Portugal.
Portuguese
politics were pluralist but to a lesser degree than in
many other
countries, especially when compared with the United
States.
Whereas the United States had over 50,000 interest groups
functioning in Washington alone as of the early 1990s, the
number
functioning in Portugal was probably less than 100.
Data as of January 1993
