Why can some interest groups influence policy-making while others
cannot? Even though this question is central to the study of
politics, we know little about the factors explaining interest
group influence. Understanding lobbying success should be of
particular concern to scholars of European politics since the
European Union constitutes a promising political opportunity
structure for organized interests. This book sheds light on the
impact of interest groups on European policy-making and makes a
major contribution to the study of both European Union politics and
interest groups more generally. Kluver develops a comprehensive
theoretical model for understanding lobbying success and presents
an extensive empirical analysis of interest group influence on
policy-making in the EU. The book relies on a large, new, and
innovative dataset that combines a wide variety of data sources
including a quantitative text analysis of European Commission
consultations, an online survey of interest groups, information
gathered on interest group websites, and legislative data retrieved
from EU databases. This book analyzes interest group influence
across 56 policy issues and 2,696 interest groups and shows that
lobbying is an exchange relationship in which the European
institutions trade influence for information, citizen support and
economic power. Importantly, this book demonstrates that it is not
sufficient to solely focus on individual interest groups, but that
it is crucial how interest groups come together in issue-specific
lobbying coalitions. Lobbying is a collective enterprise in which
information supply, citizen support, and economic power of entire
lobbying coalitions are decisive for lobbying success.
