Political economy, patriotism and the rise of societies

One of the most prominent and geographically widespread phenomena in the eighteenth century was the rise of societies that aimed at improving the economic basis of European states.
Traces of this development were left in a wide variety of contemporary sources. These societies called themselves improving societies, patriotic societies, agricultural societies and economic societies, among other labels that were used. Not only did these institutions differ semantically, their characters, self-declared missions and attributed functions were shaped by local and national political and socio-economic history.
Given this variety, how and why would one attempt to treat these economic societies in a unified way?
