The Netherlands is not only a country with a high population density, but also the population of organisations and groups for interest representation and advocacy is comparatively large. There are an estimated 2000 interest organisations of all kinds and sizes making their way to the centres of government and parliament in The Hague, where the interest traffic flow takes place. Existing structures and institutional rules on interest representation and decision-making in the Netherlands make it semi-open (but not truly open) to access for public and private stakeholders.
