Preferred term
interest aggregation and articulation
Definition
- Citizens hold various values or preferences that they wish to promote in public policy, such as protecting the environment or encouraging steel production, and these amount to their interests in government and politics. Citizens with similar political interests often organize into interest groups, and the related concepts of interest articulation and interest aggregation, which were popularized by Almond and Coleman (1960), describe different ways that interests are input into the political system.
