The delegation of policy-competencies to the European Union has
changed the context in which national actors form their interests
and represent them. Shaping European markets and societies, EU
regulation has important effects in the member states. This book
analyses how business interest organizations respond to this
challenge and what strategies they develop to cope with European
integration. Starting from the idea that institutional contexts,
resource dependencies, and organizational characteristics explain,
to a considerable degree, how interest groups adapt to EU
policy-making, this study delivers important insights into EU
governance. The empirical analysis draws on a comprehensive data
set of German, British, French, and EU business associations and
large firms. Divided into three parts, it moves from the study of
domestic contexts to the analysis of multilevel-governance in the
EU before finally scrutinizing in greater detail the factors that
shape the access of interest groups to the EU institutions.
Making an important contribution to the development of
institutional and organizational accounts of interest groups in the
EU, this book will be of interest to political scientists,
economists, and sociologists working in the areas of European
integration, comparative European politics, political economy,
interest groups and civil society.
