Acorporate group is two or moreindividuals, usually in the form of afamily,clan,organization, orcompany.
Differentcultures have differentbeliefs about what the basic unit of the culture is. These assumptions affect their beliefs about what the proper concern of thegovernment should be.
A major distinction between differentpolitical cultures is whether they believe theindividual to be the basic unit of their society, in which case they areindividualistic, or whether corporate groups are viewed as basic units of society, in which case these cultures arecorporatist.[1]
In social political theory, corporatism refers to organizing societies by assigning individuals to corporate groups, whether by force or voluntarily, to represent common interests (usually economic policy) in the larger societal framework. For example,social corporatism andcorporate statism refer to society as structured bycapitalist,proletarian, governmental, and moreinterest groups. The degree to which such groups are autonomous parties incollective bargaining processes is crucial in placements on the spectrum betweensyndicalism andfascism.
