Lobbying, Political Uncertainty and Policy Outcomes

Meer over het boek

Focusing on interest group communication strategies within parliamentary systems, this book explores how political uncertainty influences these strategies. It presents a formal model of lobbying in bicameral legislatures with strong party discipline, examining the choice between public and private communication channels for impacting political negotiations. The analysis is supported by empirical tests across various policy contexts, particularly in labor and social policy legislation, providing insights into the dynamics of political bargaining.
