论利益集团在美国政治中的作用

On the Role of Interest Groups in American Politics

美国的政治被称为利益集团政治。利益集团在参与政策制定,缓和社会矛盾,维护社会稳定,协调政党分歧,弥补地区政治的不足等方面起了巨大的作用。但是,利益集团谋取的只是自身的局部利益,具有很大的狭隘性。

Interest groups are important parts in American politics.As a mechanism for transferring interests between people and policy-makers,interest groups really play a positive role in joining policy-making,modifying the contradiction of society,ensuring the stability of society,moderating the differences between political parties,and making up for the limitation of district politics etc.However,the benefit of interest groups is only for Chemselves and very limited.
