Public Affairs in Brussels: old game, new luck?

15.000 lobbyists are estimated to work in Brussels. After
enlargement and the entering into force of the Nice Treaty they are
faced with the challenges of an increasingly multileveled system of
governance. The authors (Steffen Dagger and Manuel Lianos) of this
article that was published in Politik & Kommunikation argue
that, due to the complexity of decision-making processes and the
multitude of political actors, the only way forward for interest
groups and consultants is to build issue-based alliances in
Brussels and EU wide. Furthermore, as is the case in the US,
consultants and lawyers should work hand in hand to combine PR with
judicial know-how to be able to carry out their work more
effectively.
