Abstract Theories of interest intermediation maintain that the formation of bargaining positions in the European Union follows a distinctive bargaining style. This article evaluates such claims empirically. It compares the predictive accuracy of Nash bargaining models which take the salient features of five types of interest intermediation into account. We show that the interaction between government agencies, interest groups and parties in the formation of EU legislation is largely étatiste.

Abstract Theories of interest intermediation maintain that the formation of bargaining positions in the European Union follows a distinctive bargaining style. This article evaluates whether the domestic pre-negotiations on legislative Commission proposals follow a pluralist, étatiste, clientelistic, corporatist or consociationalist logic. Our empirical evaluation compares the predictive accuracy of Nash bargaining models that take the distinctive features of these ideal types of interest intermediation into account.

Abstract This article supports the expectation of Mancur Olson that considerable power asymmetries between competing interest groups characterize public policy making. We show that specialized producer and consumer groups are able to move the outcome into their preferred direction in the domestic prenegotiations on legislative proposals of the European Commission.

The power of specialization: how interest groups influence EU legislation2003 •
This article lends strong support to Mancur Olson´ s assertion that large power asymmetries between competing interest groups typify public policy making. We examine one particular phase in the decision making process within the European Union, namely the domestic prenegotiations on legislative proposals of the Commission. Our regression analysis demonstrates that “privileged” or specialized producer and consumer groups are able to stir the outcome into their preferred direction during this crucial bargaining process.

Transformation of interest politics in the context of globalization has been widely studied with respect to advanced countries. In a similar vein, this article examines the recent transformations and diverging national trajectories against the backdrop of global market integration, focusing on business politics in upper-middle-income countries. Tackling the ways in which domestic political arrangements refract the impact of global forces, the article indicates that the market integration process engenders diverging effects in national settings contingent upon executive– legislative relations. Where power is concentrated in the executive, market integration upholds a form of corporatism; and where legislative power increases, it promotes a form of pluralism. Based on the empirics of Mexico and Turkey, this article shows the links between increasing legislative power and emerging legislative lobbying in Mexico in contrast to increasing executive power and centralization and concentration of interest politics in Turkey. It delineates a major variation in national trajectories in business politics in the age of globalization—the rise of 'elite-plural-ism' dominated by large firms in the former, and 'competitive corporatism' vastly controlled by the executive branch in the latter.

Abstract: This article examines the discretionary power of national governments in EU policy making, focusing on the preparatory stage of European legislation. We assess the conditions under which the ministry in charge of the pre-negotiations is able to withstand attempts of domestic stakeholders to change the national bargaining stance.
