I've had the privilege of reviewing Maraam Dwidar's excellent new book @UChicagoPress It provides answers to several long-standing questions on lobbying. And, most importantly, it can provide HOPE in times where many might need it the most ... link.springer.com/article/10…

I've talked to @Altingetdk about threats to civil society. We discussed the European Court of Auditors' new recommendations about more transparency, but also conditionality connected to EU's values. Read in this interview why this can be a problem. altinget.dk/civilsamfund/art…

I can also highly recommend this analysis by @Gitteyoung of conflicts in the European Parliament around funding for green NGOs. These are extremely important & worrying debates, and it is great to see them covered thoroughly in the press. altinget.dk/civilsamfund/art…

An often overlooked question: what specific role should governments take in collaborations: lead, link or leverage? In a new article in Policy Studies Journal with Erin Sullivan and @caelestabraun, we develop a framework to clarify and assess these roles. shorturl.at/FmX1j

Are lobbyists influential? The public has long thought so, but applied political science since lobbying registration data emerged (late 90s) struggled to produce evidence that it does. In a new review @wmjunk @heathbrown & I chart a wave of research showing how lobbying matters.

We believe that empirical studies of lobbying power could benefit from reconnecting to the structural power literature - and our article suggests a survey-based method to do so. See the full paper here: doi.org/10.1111/psj.70010
