Like all social phenomena, interest groups can be analyzed from three theoretical perspectives. Either we start with the individual social actor and explore his or her intentions, values, and expectations in joining the organization and his or her actual chances of influencing its policies and utilizing the resources and achievements of the organization. Or we start with the organization itself, the generation of its resources, its growth, its internal bureaucratization and differentiation, and its relations to other organizations.
