This time we talk to Ellis
Aizenberg, Assistant Professor at the Faculty Governance and
Global Affairs at the University of Leiden (time of recording Ellis
was working at Aarhus University in Denmark). Ellis conducts
her research in relation to interest representation, lobbying
and perceived legitimacy.
We talk to Ellis about her recent article
in Governance called “Conflict and salience as drivers of
corporate lobbying? An elite survey experiment"
In the episode we cover:
- How conflict can motivate companies to lobby alone instead of together with a business organization
- Different strategies companies can take when they are lobbying
- The challenges business associations have
in interest representation
- What affects the "appetite" for seeking visibility (or the
opposite)
And Ellis also shares her view on transparency registers.
All this in just 30 minutes!
