Dobbins, MichaelRiedel, Rafał2021-05-222021-05-22https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12371/12994This 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.application/pdfhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcodePolitical Science / Political Process / Political Partiesbisacsh:POL015000Political Science / World / Europeanbisacsh:POL058000Political Science / World / Russian & Former Soviet Unionbisacsh:POL060000BOOK
