Entrepreneurs, State, and Interest Representation in Brazil
註釋Corporatism, as a particular form of the representation of interests within the state apparatus of contemporary societies has been one of contemporary political science's most popular objects of analysis. The concept itself focuses on the character of interest-based associations and the type of relationship that they established with the State.

A distinction has been made between 'societary corporatism' and 'state corporatism'. The former refers to a situation in which the typical form of organisation for the representation of interests flows from the social groups which have been able to impose themselves on the State, thus gaining recognition as privileged interlocutors.
