Abstract in italiano I gruppi di pressione hanno sempre ricoperto un ruolo cruciale nel processo decisionale europeo. Tale ruolo da una parte è stato analizzato con le categorie proprie del lobbying tradizionale, dall’altra ci si è resi conto che il livello di coinvolgimento dei gruppi di pressione è tale da assumere le caratteristiche di una partecipazione della società civile ai processi decisionali europei, capace di chiamare in causa il modello della democrazia partecipativa, al quale per altro si fa sovente riferimento nei documenti della Commissione e del Comitato economico e sociale. È a partire da tali considerazioni che sorgono spontanei alcuni interrogativi: dove passa il confine tra il lobbying in senso stretto e la partecipazione della società civile ai processi decisionali europei? L’Unione europea sta aprendo la strada a nuove forme di democrazia partecipativa?

Abstract
Pressure groups have always been playing a crucial role in the European decision making processes. This role on the one hand have been analyzed in term of traditional lobbying, on the other hand the involvement of civil society in the European decision making processes looks at the model of participative democracy, which the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee often refer to in the official documents. Moving form these topics some questions arise: where is the border between lobbying and the participation of civil society to the decision making processes? Is the European Union moving towards a participative democracy model?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
