Great attention has been paid to the role of various nongovernmental organizations in the process of reaching democratic breakthrough. In this manuscript I move beyond the question of how organizations empower a new generation of political elites, instead exploring the fate of these organizations in the early period of democratic consolidation. I argue that certain leading organizations from the pro-democracy struggle are confronted during this period with not only challenges, but also new political opportunities. Among these is a fundamentally new relationship with the state that refer to here delegative corporatism, whereby select organizations purportedly representative of societal interests are given enhanced influence over the state in return for moderation of demands
