Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The Austrian system of interest representation ranks high among scales of corporatism in the relevant literature. Inherent in Austrian corporatism, however, is a democratic deficit problem resulting from the secrecy and informality of its procedures, the necessary control over its members in order to produce compliance with centralized agreements, and the compulsory character of membership in the legally established interest organizations. Compulsory membership deprives members of the capacity to punish unresponsive leaders by leaving the organization. As long as the model worked well, this in-built lack of responsiveness and accountability was not seriously questioned. Due to changes in the institutional and economic environment, however, the Austrian model of corporatism began to experience legitimacy problems more recently. This paper addresses how the interest associations reacted to this challenge.
