2025 ECPR SG IG Summer School was a full success! Focusing on lobbying and advocacy in a changing political environment, our participants explored a plethora of sub-topics, presented their research, and received constructive feedback. All hosted in amazing #Maastricht.

In survey experiment in NL & DK with elected representatives, we find public opinion directly shapes politicians' views, while interest groups have weaker effects, mainly influencing aligned legislators [2/2]

Waarom is het zo belangrijk "top-of-mind" te blijven bij beleidsmakers? @darren_halpin zal tijdens onze opleiding #Belangenbehartiging dieper ingaan op dit vraagstuk & inzichten delen uit zijn nieuwste boek met @AnthonyNownes #Lobby #BigTech #Influence

In our new @EJPRjournal paper, @stefanie_reher & I explore this ❓ using survey exp's in 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇬🇧

In a new paper with @a_rasmussen and @JensAdriaan we show new evidence on the relation between the revolving door and access to decision-makers in the EU. The article is open access in @IGA_journal: link.springer.com/article/10…
Future studies should probe further with better data 1/5
