EXPLORING ORGANIZED INTERESTS
IN POST-COMMUNIST
POLICY-MAKING

This book examines organized interests in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), providing incisive analyses in three critically important policy areas healthcare, higher education and energy.

The four countries surveyed Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and the Czech Republic afford rich diversity offering broad empirical material available for cross-country and cross-policy comparative analyses. Featuring interdisciplinary research, the book draws together recent developments in the evolution of post-communist advocacy organizations, their population ecology dynamics, interest intermediation, the influence of organized interests and their (bottom-up and top-down) Europeanization.

This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Central and Eastern European politics, interest groups and lobbying, post-communism, transition and consolidation studies, and more broadly to European studies/politics.

Michael Dobbins is Adjunct Professor of Policy Analysis at the University of Konstanz, Germany.

Rafa Riedel is a professor in the Institute of Political Science and Administration at Opole University, Poland.
