“…As mentioned, we only included organizations operating at the national level. We deem this limitation to be justified, as regionalization processes are a relatively new phenomenon in the sampled countries, and Hungary and Poland, in particular, have recently undergone processes of recentralization (Rozbicka et al 2021b ). This had the disadvantage of decreasing our sample size, but the advantage of filtering out countless organizations not predestined to be engaged in interactions with national political parties, ministries or European-level organizations.…”

This article familiarizes readers with the international research project ‘The Missing Link: Exploring Organized Interests in Post-Communist Policy-Making’ (OrgIntCEE). The project team has focused on how populations of organized interests in the region have evolved, how they interact with state institutions as well as the group-specific characteristics driving access to policy-makers. The project also explores how Europeanization has affected post-communist interest groups as well as other factors contributing to their “coming-of-age.” We provide a comprehensive overview of the population ecology and survey datasets, while shedding light on the challenges during the data collection process. After a short overview of the project context and structure, we present some country-specific aggregated data on organizational densities and their political activity. We also reflect on potential uses for the data, before wrapping up the article with a self-critical assessment of what could have been done differently as a roadmap for future research.
