    Assignment:

    Answer ONE (1) of the following questions in your post:

    Question #1: What is corporatism? How does corporatism relate to what you know about interest groups in the United States in a reputational sense? What can we learn from European countries that display corporatist trends?

    Question #2: What are the effects of pluralism? Why might groups concerned with the environment, womens issues, or other concerns have an easier time being heard in a pluralist system? What other issue advocates (if any) might become prominent in Europe in coming years? Why?

    Question #3: What are policy networks?  Why are they salient at the level of the European Union?  How might the revolution in Information Technology change them?
