Lobbying in the European Community

Zusatztext This collection provides a useful and interesting introduction to what is potentially a fascinating subject. Klappentext The role of interest groups in formulating EC policy is a central aspect of European Community development. This work uniquely provides academic analysis and an insider's account of how lobbying works. It examines the results of the increasing power transfer to Brussels in terms of EC policy progress, the activities of the EC Commission as an "adolescent" bureaucracy, and lobbying group behavior at national and European levels. The book also discusses a wide range of special interest groups involved in lobbying--business, financial institutions, industry, and nonprofit organizations. With concrete examples of lobbying and a general discussion of the policy process, this work will interest students and scholars of international relations, comparative politics, and European studies, and professionals and government officials involved in international business and politics. The first book in an important new series Zusammenfassung Examines the role of pressure groups in the European Community and analyzes the development of the process of consultation in Brussels. The book combines an overview of the lobbying system with empirical studies to try and give an insider's angle on the process.
