مکیاولی بیشتر در بروکسل: هنر لابی‌گری در اتحادیه اروپا، ویرایش سوم

Each year thousands of interest groups appear before the European Union to lobby for legislation and subsidies, some more effectively than others. Packed with real cases, examples of good practice, and successful strategies, this fully revised and rewritten new edition of Machiavelli in Brussels presents a wealth of information for seasoned professionals and novices alike. Countless interest groups representing governments and non-governmental bodies try to lobby the European Union effectively in pursuit of the desired legislation, subsidies and more. Many lobby groups simply do what they see fit. Others manage their affairs in the EU arena more professionally, and it is their home front and their playing field which are the focus of this book. Filled with real cases, examples of good practice, and special issues of EU lobbying, it presents a wealth of information and analysis. Like other political processes, EU lobbying has its limits, acknowledged here, alongside its contribution to democracy, both of which are discussed in this thought-provoking and reflective book CONTENTS SUMMARY......Page 6 DETAILED CONTENTS......Page 8 PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION......Page 14 LIST OF FIGURES......Page 16 LIST OF BEST WEBSITES......Page 18 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS......Page 20 THE EUROPEANIZATION OF PUBLICAFFAIRS......Page 24 THE PLAYING-FIELD: EU COMMONDECISION-MAKING......Page 62 PUSHING THE BUTTONS OF‘BRUSSELS’......Page 108 MANAGING THE EU ARENA......Page 158 MANAGING THE HOME FRONT......Page 200 MANAGING THE EU FIELDWORK......Page 240 THE LIMITS OF EU PUBLIC AFFAIRSMANAGEMENT......Page 282 LOBBYING AND EU DEMOCRACY......Page 320 REFERENCES......Page 356 INDEX......Page 378 Description based on print version record.
