Lobbying Inc.: Corporate Lobbying Power and Politics

Abstract

This panel explores the role of business in shaping public policy through lobbying processes. Papers in this panel variously examine how the corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments of large corporations influence their lobbying strategies on related public policy issues; compare corporate political activity in Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands; assess how the position of business interest groups and representatives towards business regulation has changed after the global financial crisis; and examines when and why firms decide to lobby alone or through business associations in the European Union.
