IndexReviews'Svendsen's and Brandt's study of EU lobbying activity is just that and more. The book focuses tightly on the EU Commission where lobbying is not regulated in any way. In doing so, the two authors provide a thorough and convincing theory-based analysis of special interest demand for political favors. The book is a must read for academics, policy makers, politicians, and yes, even for lobbyists who want to know more about how the EU's Commission operates and how special interest demand has led to potentially troublesome policy outcomes. The book will be especially appreciated by academics and policy analysts who prize creative use of price theory. In presenting their well-honed arguments, Svendsen and Brandt also provide strong analysis of the EU carbon permit trading and fisheries policy. They conclude with 8 recommendations for making EU lobbying activity transparent and accountable.' - Bruce Yandle, Clemson University and George Mason University, US 'Brandt's and Svendsen's study of EU lobbying activity is just that and more.
