Digitalization and new modes of lobbying

Abstract

The process of digitalization and the advancement of new technologies have altered how politics work, forcing organized interests to change their modus operandi and adapt their organizational structures to the digital sphere. In this changing environment, interest groups have to implement alternative and new strategies to lobby public policies and become relevant and influential. This panel includes papers that address the consequences of digitalization for interest group interaction with policy-makers. Special attention is given to new modes of communication such as social media channels and their effect on how interest groups and public officials interact.
