notes notes 1 For argumentation, see Schmidt 1997; 2003; 2004. 2 Van den Berg and Brandsen 2007 observe that the definition issue is ‘notoriously difficult’. It involves: ‘a rich diversity of organisations and groups that includes co-operatives, associations, foundations and various informal social groups’ (Dekker and Burger, 2001). Kendall and Knapp, meanwhile, quote Henry James, to characterise the sector as a ‘loose and baggy monster’ (Kendall and Knapp, 1995). There have been many attempts to capture the monster in definitions and taxonomies, with varying levels of success. 3 For the latter, see Van de Donk (2001), who explicitly distinguishes this sector from (1) the government, (2) the market and (3) informal relationships. 4 In the scientific literature, a distinction is generally drawn between pluralistic, corporatist and etatistic political systems of interest representation (cf. Lijphart 1999; Falkner 1999). In pluralistic systems, many different civil society organisations operate alongside each other, all having equal access to the formal decision making process. In corporatist systems, by contrast, a small number of unelected and privileged organisations are included in the formal decision making process, and, moreover, function as key advisory bodies to the government. In etatistic systems, finally, civil society organisations play virtually no role in the political decision making process. 5 Report on the public consultation on the Green Paper on services of general interests, Commission Staff Working Paper, sec (2004) 326, 15.03.2004: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/site/en/com/2004 /com2004_0374en01.pdf. 135
