∙ 12y agoAs noted by Thomas Dewey, there is no clear dividing line between the public and private interests. In practise, private interest refers to the acts of individuals to meet their own ends, so they do not tend to form 'groups' insofar as private interests are usually not shared. Most private interest groups are called special interests which typically form from aggregations of individuals with the same goal, such as corporations or unions. Public interest groups contend to be groups that represent the broader interest of society itself even though such groups often do not comprise much of it.

A research group that looks to find solutions to problems or to create them is generally speaking not political.
