Chapter 2 in The Persuaders, 2002, pp 24-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Effectiveness is a fuzzy concept. Attention to the idea of effectiveness is important and worthy of investigation. This chapter provides a working definition of what effective lobbying is. It investigates the different perceptions of effectiveness and the difficulties of judging it. The chapter reviews the literature on practical attempts to measure and improve effectiveness, before presenting a method to assess it.
