Résumé
At a time when Europe and business stand at crossroads, this study
provides a perspective into how business representation in the EU has
evolved and valuable insights into how to organize lobbying strategies
and influence policy-making.
Uniquely, the authors analyze
business lobbying in Brussels by drawing on insights from political
science, public management, and business studies. At the macro level, we
explore over 30 years of increasing business lobbying and explore the
emergence of a distinct European business-government relations style. At
the meso level, we assess how the role of EU institution, policy types,
and the policy cycle shape the density and diversity of business
lobbying activity. Finally, at the micro level we seek to explore how
firms organize their political affairs functions and mobilized strategic
political responses.
The study uses a variety of methods to
analysis the business government relations drawing on unique business
and policy-maker surveys; in-depth case studies and elite interviews;
large statistical analysis of lobbying registers to assess density and
diversity across policy areas and EU institutions; and managerial career
path and organizational analysis to assess corporate political
capabilities.
In contributing to discussions on corporate
political strategy and interest groups activity, this monograph should
be of interest to public policy scholars, policy-makers, and businesses
managers seeking to understand EU government affair and political
representation.
