Beskrivning

This book provides a clear, systematic and up-to-date picture of the vast and dynamic industry of lobbying and Public Affairs in Europe, not only at EU level, but specifically in each of the 28 EU Member States. Using contributions from political scientists and lobbyists from each country, the volume offers a comprehensive review of the European lobbying industry, tackling elements such as the institutional framework and the political culture of each country, the perception of lobbyists by public opinion and politicians, the professionalization and the numbers of the industry in each country, the regulation of the sector (through dedicated laws, self-imposed ethical codes, etc.). This is a benchmark publication for all those studying or working in the field of Lobbying, Public Affairs, Communication and Business and Politics in or with EU countries.

Recensioner i media

“The present handbook comprises 28 case studies of the lobbying sectors in all current EU Member States to counter such impressions. … The book explicitly targets audiences in policy planning as well as public relations, media and research. … In sum, as a timely contribution to the literature on interest groups, advocacy and political activism, this comprehensive volume may function as a reference tool to complement further research.” (Alexander Leipold, Journal of Common Market Studies JCMS, Vol. 56 (1), January, 2018)
