How corporatist institutions shape the access of citizen groups to policy-makers: evidence from Denmark and Switzerland
研究了丹麦和瑞士的公民团体在1975-1985年至2010年间接触行政和议会渠道的情况，发现瑞士公民团体比丹麦更成功，尤其在议会渠道，这与两国法团主义制度差异有关。
ABSTRACT Traditional corporatist groups such as business groups and unions still play an important role in many countries, and the rumors exaggerate the decline of corporatist structures. Nevertheless citizen groups have grown in number and political importance. The authors show that Danish and Swiss citizen groups have gained better access to the administrative and parliamentary venues in the period 1975–1985 through 2010, but with Swiss citizen groups more successful than their Danish counterparts, particularly with regard to the parliamentary venue. Danish and Swiss neo-corporatism has confronted similar socio-economic and political challenges during this period, but the political opportunity structure is more favorable towards citizen groups in Switzerland than in Denmark. The Swiss referendum institution makes parliamentarians more open to popular demands while in Denmark strong unions, a strong parliament and frequent minority governments make it more difficult for citizen groups to be heard.
