Many citizens, politicians, and political activists express concerns about the political influence of business in the European Union (EU). However, do business interests truly hold the key to shaping EU policies in Brussels? Contrary to popular belief, this book reveals that business influence is not greater than that of other interest groups in influencing contemporary EU policies. Andreas Dür, David Marshall, and Patrick Bernhagen present an innovative argument emphasizing the role of public actors in facilitating or impeding the success of interest groups in lobbying.
Novel data on a substantial number of legislative proposals on the EU's agenda, along with three case studies, provide strong support for this argument. In this process, The Political Influence of Business in the European Union offers valuable insights into how lobbying success depends on the demand and supply of information, as well as new ideas for measuring lobbying success. The book presents a fresh perspective on the question of business power and sheds light on why business interests often face challenges in policy battles.
The book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of business-politics relations in the EU. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors that shape business influence and offers practical recommendations for improving the effectiveness of interest group lobbying. By challenging prevailing narratives and offering a more nuanced understanding of the policy process, The Political Influence of Business in the European Union contributes to a better-informed and more democratic debate about the role of business in shaping EU policies.
