Lobbyists are generally perceived to work behind closed doors in order to influence legislation?what really happens is unknown to the public. To make interest representatives more visible, both the European Union and the United States have developed mechanisms to register lobbyists. However, while US legislation now forces lobbyists to register and report their influential work by fixed deadlines, the EU`s registration remains voluntary due to the lack of a legal basis. This book takes the reader closer to today`s concept of lobbying, especially in regard to the EU`s registration mechanism. Lisa Moessing compares both the US and the EU registration systems by their technical composition, accessibility, and handling and contrasts their efficiency and effectiveness. Providing a forum for 17 lobbyists, watch dog members, and political representatives to discuss lobbying registration, this book defines starting points for improvement and emphasizes the importance of listening to those who deal with the registers in everyday practice. 330 1 $a"Thanks to its qualitative interview approach as well as an interviewee array of influential actors, decision-makers, and lobby organizations, the book is an important research contribution to the EU`s mechanism of lobbying regulation which has been fought for and debated for several years."-Hans-Wolfgang Platzer, Holder of the Jean Monnet Chair of European Integration at the University of Applied Sciences Fulda 410 0$aInterdisciplinary series of the Centre for Intercultural and European Studies ;$vVolume 12. 606 $alegislation 606 $aUnited States 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $aregistration 606 $acomparison 606 $alobbyism 606 $ainfluence 615 4$alegislation 615 4$aUnited States 615 4$aEuropean Union 615 4$aregistration 615 4$acomparison 615 4$alobbyism 615 4$ainfluence 676 $a324.4094 700 $aMoessing$b Lisa$4aut$01669910 702 $aHentges$b Gudrun$4edt 702 $aHinnenkamp$b Volker$4edt 702 $aPlatzer$b Hans-Wolfgang$4edt 702 $aHoner$b Anne$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974842703321 996 $aLobbying uncovered$94031392 997 $aUNINA
