The Future of Organization Ecology in Interest Representation

Abstract

Research informed by organization ecology theory has been extensive in both its application across different kinds of political systems and the several levels of substantive focu it has addressed. Yet there remain many uncertainties both in terms of theory and the data used to test them. In this final chapter, we consider these relative successes and failures, and we discuss in a more compact manner the outstanding opportunities identified for further research, addressing the issues raised by each section of the book in turn.
