          • Example sentence(s)
            • En ce sens, les groupes d’intérêt jouent un rôle de relais de diffusion, au niveau national, d’un certain type d’informations sur l’Europe. Ils agissent certes selon des logiques différentes, à destination de publics cibles, en mobilisant une multiplicité de méthodes et stratégies de communication, mais opèrent tous une sélection, souvent à travers un cadrage national ad hoc, de l’information sur l’Europe. En ce sens, ils assurent une médiation partielle de l’information produite massivement par la « machine communautaire »10 pour l’adapter à leurs publics. Il n’en demeure pas moins que, en dépit de leurs stratégies propres de communication et du rapport instrumental qu’ils ont à l’information, ces relais nationaux sectoriels jouent un rôle positif dans la sensibilisation des publics aux questions européennes, en particulier par l’éclairage expert qu’ils apportent sur ces dernières. - Horizons Strategiques by Pierre Francois

          • Definition(s)
            • Na sociedade aberta e pluralista, há variados grupos que existem para a defesa de um interesse: "a existência de um conjunto articulado de objectivos mais ou menos parcelares que motiva grupos mais ou menos vastos a uma acção que pretende actrualizar ou reforçar a concretização desses objectivos", conforme a definição de José Miguel Júdice, na enciclopédia "Polis". Porque um interesse não tem que ser necessariamente material, podendo também ser de índole moral. Daí que haja grupos de interesse que apenas lutam por ideias, ao lado dos grupos de interesse que têm como objectivo a conquista de vantagens materiais, a defesa de situações adquiridas, ou o aumento do bem estar ou dos privilégios da categoria representada. Isto é, pode haver interesses utilitários e interesses desinteressados. Own research - by Maria Teresa Borges de Almeida
