Lobbying in the European Parliament

Meer over het boek

Exploring the dynamics of lobbying in the European Parliament, this book delves into the mechanisms through which interest groups exert influence. Through analysis of EU documents, lobbying letters, and extensive interviews, the author highlights four case studies that illustrate key factors affecting lobbying success, including counter-lobbying, issue salience, and committee receptiveness. The "Triple-I" framework—interests, issues, and institutions—provides a comprehensive approach to understanding the effectiveness of lobbying efforts, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, and policymakers in EU politics.
