EU Lobbying Handbook - Paperback

by Alber Geiger (Author)

When the EU is drafting new legislation, you are either at the table or on the menu. This manual for EU lobbying shows you how to get your voice heard in the increasingly louder environment of EU politics. And how to get your arguments considered in a world of information overflow. Whether you represent a stakeholder from Europe, the US, Russia, China, India or elsewhere - the intention of this book is to help you find your way through the jungle of EU decision making. Drawing from personal hands-on experience and addressing the reader directly, the book gives introductions both to the peculiarities of European policy making and to the everyday pitfalls and challenges in the work of an EU lobbyist. It includes a concise set of strategies and techniques to enhance the effectiveness of influencing EU political proceedings.
Insightful contributions of high-profile guest authors provide a wide range of perspectives on the political implications of lobbying the EU. These illustrations of what makes lobbying in the EU such a challenging task represent a valuable asset of this remarkably easy to read guide to the Brussels labyrinth.
