Abstract

Collaboration is a fundamental aspect of interest groups’ activity. This panel explores when and how interest groups form coalitions and networks. Contributions delve into the strategic considerations behind forming collaborations and their impact on policy outcomes. In doing so, they shed light on the role of reputation, outsider status, and demand-side forces in driving the formation of (sometimes unexpected) collaborations. Finally, by focusing on lobbying coalitions of local governments actors, two papers improve our understanding of intergovernmental lobbying and multilevel governance.
