Abstract: Abstract In the European Union, different interest groups lobby in different ways and with manifold strategies and tactics. The development of the EU multi-level system has led to highly complex decision-making processes and channels for interest representation and influence-seeking. This chapter describes the opportunities for lobbying in the EU institutions and the population of interest groups that engage in EU lobbying. It summarises the state of empirical research on lobbying in the EU with respect to political theories, lobbying strategies, lobby success and influence, and reactions to growing demands for transparency and lobby.
