Although "pressure group" and "interest group" are used interchangeably by some authors, they are not exactly the same concept. According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1980, a pressure group is "any interest group that is not part of the government and does not itself seek to govern the country in its own name, but does seek to influence that government for its own purposes." 5, record 1, English, - special%20interest%20group

groupe d'intérêts et groupe de pression sont considérés comme des synonymes par certains auteurs, notamment par Joseph Sumpf et Michel Hugues, dans le «Dictionnaire de sociologie», 1979, p. 142. Cependant, à la différence du groupe d'intérêts, le groupe de pression cherche à influencer les pouvoirs publics et l'opinion pour en retirer certains avantages (dans le sens du terme anglais «lobby»), et il ne faut pas les confondre. 7, record 1, French, - groupe%20d%27int%C3%A9r%C3%AAt
