Jump to:European Union Lobbying [Hardback]Changes in the Arenaby Robin H. Pedler (Editor)
PRINT ON DEMAND Description of European Union LobbyingThis book presents a number of case studies of lobbying campaigns directed towards influencing policy and decisions in Europe, and illustrates the effects of recent wide-ranging changes. The selected cases, all written by top-class researchers and authors, have been chosen to illustrate the range of interest groups which lobby, as well as to broaden the coverage of lobbying cases in Europe. Treaty revisions have modified the decision-making process and balance of power between European Union institutions. Company lobbying has changed as cross-border mergers have concentrated their activity. the balance of power between the European Union and global bodies such as the World Trade Organization has shifted, as has that between member state governments and their devolved regions. The regions are increasingly active players. the ability of non-governmental organizations to take a recognised part in policy formulation has increased, and this change is accelerating.Title Information
