The deadline is approaching (5 June)! So, I am just reposting this once more... Perhaps it can reach a few more junior scholars interested in lobbying?

I've had the privilege of reviewing Maraam Dwidar's excellent new book @UChicagoPress
It provides answers to several long-standing questions on lobbying. And, most importantly, it can provide HOPE in times where many might need it the most ...

Excited to have presented our first #ReCiv output at the @psaitweets public policy workshop 2025! ReCiv discovers the impact of crisis and turbulence on interest groups/CSOs. Delighted to be working with amazing colleagues @wmjunk and Rasa Bortkeviciute on this exciting project
I've talked to @Altingetdk about threats to civil society. We discussed the European Court of Auditors' new recommendations about more transparency, but also conditionality connected to EU's values.
Read in this interview why this can be a problem.

I can also highly recommend this analysis by @Gitteyoung of conflicts in the European Parliament around funding for green NGOs.
These are extremely important & worrying debates, and it is great to see them covered thoroughly in the press.

Working with "the enemy" is a frequently used lobbying strategy!
In our new article, we study the logic of brokerage & how brokers between opposing policy positions can secure advantages in lobbying.

An often overlooked question: what specific role should governments take in collaborations: lead, link or leverage? In a new article in Policy Studies Journal with Erin Sullivan and @caelestabraun, we develop a framework to clarify and assess these roles.

If you are looking for an up-to-date review of what we know about the effects of lobbying, look no further!
Thrilled to see this out in ARPS!
Hope it reaches a broad set of audiences to share the strides this subfield has made in the last 15 years… ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Are lobbyists influential? The public has long thought so, but applied political science since lobbying registration data emerged (late 90s) struggled to produce evidence that it does. In a new review
@wmjunk @heathbrown & I chart a wave of research showing how lobbying matters.

The review is here: annualreviews.org/content/jo… and shows that better data to observe lobbying preferences and actions has proliferated in the US and Europe (which is the scope of our review), leading to different conclusions.

I hope this reaches all the relevant fora for junior researchers and would be grateful for shares!
@ECPR @APSAtweets @europsa @CPH_SODAS
Which groups get what they want without having to lobby?
In this new article, we revisit theories about structural power & link them to patterns in preference attainment across 7 European countries & at EU level.
With @michelecrepaz & @MarcelHanegraaf #InterCov @PSJ_Editor
We believe that empirical studies of lobbying power could benefit from reconnecting to the structural power literature - and our article suggests a survey-based method to do so.
