Abstract
During
the evolution of Political Science, have been formulated various
definitions relating to the phenomenon of pressure groups.
Phenomenon
in constant change and difficult to detect social and political.
History
has led to a discussion of primordial interest groups or guilds,
taking as reference the interest of a group toward an economic,
political and social. The need 'to come together for a common purpose
was the basis of the first "aggregations"
A
historical examination would lead to linger in the various
transformations and perceptions of pressure groups, but in this
context are not interested in historical reconstruction.
Each
historical period has identified a "gate keper", remember
the stage of political development, trade unions, lobby groups,
political parties.
In
the historical context in which we examine the evolution of economic
interest groups, we must consider the profound crisis, which began in
2008 with the event and the consequent of the Leman Brother current
European crisis that sees the chance 'out of some countries from
comuita' European Union.
Elements
such as the collapse of production across the economy, unemployment,
social classes more and more 'distant from each other, the political
class more and more' away from the perception of reality 'social
awareness have led to the latent part of the population and through
current communication tools have created new realities' of interest
groups.
Social
networking sites, chat rooms, the availability 'of information in
real time from all over the world, the non-classical filtering by
"gate keper" movements like the media have created
indignados, the anoyimus or just locally definable groups to come
together through more 'popular social networks like Face-book,
tweetter or bolgger.
In
the first part I will give 'a' framework of 'evolution' spigare
trying to explain why the historical social movements have come to
life. In the second part will analyze 'movements and their current
employment and social policy, assessing their strengths and their
independence from the classic liminal "gate keper".
