Handbook on Lobbying and Public Policy

This uniquely comprehensive Handbook examines the complex relationship between lobbyists and public policy through an innovative multi-analytic lens. Emphasising the profound impact of the topic on modern government and contemporary societal issues, David Coen and Alexander Katsaitis bring together a wide range of experts to illuminate the contexts and processes involved in public policy, and how this interacts with the practice of lobbying.

Using resource-exchange as a guiding meta-theory, contributors discuss lobbying and public policy at the macro-level, before delving into the dynamics of the policy cycle and policy procedures. Chapters critically assess how political and organisational variables impact strategic behaviour, as well as why interest intermediation varies between different political systems. Finally, the Handbook examines public policy’s effect on interest group activity, exploring a spectrum of lobbying activity through a bottom-up perspective.

Compiling a wide range of highly relevant case studies and deploying diverse research methods and theoretical models, the Handbook on Lobbying and Public Policy will prove vital reading to students and scholars of political science, public policy, sociology, and international and global studies. It will also appeal to policymakers and researchers and practitioners of public administration and political economy.
