“Lobbying the Autocrat sets the agenda for an expanded literature on lobbying outside the boundaries of democracy. It will be seen as the first one to raise systematic issues of how advocacy works under authoritarianism and to present an ambitious agenda for future research so that our understanding of lobbying and advocacy can become truly global. It is equally important for the empirical findings presented, the theoretical framework presented, and the future research agenda that it proposes.”—Frank R. Baumgartner, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
