https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2008-1-86-98
Abstract
Different types of interests groups which are analyzed in economics and sociology are characterized: analytical, statistical and real ones. The operational attributes of these types of groups are cosidered. The estimations for some "statistical" groups of the Russian society from the point of view of their bargaining power and capabilities to create coalitions are presented. The examples of coalitions connected with some possible reforms are given.
