Book review: Lobbying in the European Union: interest groups, lobbying coalitions, and policy change

"Lobbying in the European Union: Interest Groups, Lobbying Coalitions, and Policy Change." Heike Klüver. Oxford University Press. February 2013. --- 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. This book aims to shed light on the impact of interest groups on European policy-making, with author Heike Klüver developing a comprehensive theoretical model for understanding lobbying success.
