This book investigates why European associations form interest coalitions, which strategies these coalitions pursue to influence the EU institutions, and how persistent they are over time. In this context, questions concerning the transparency of European decision-making are approached. The field of European energy policy serves as empirical background, providing a valuable insight into a little researched area of European politics.

This book investigates why European associations form interest  coalitions in the field of EU energy policy, which strategies  these coalitions pursue to influence the EU institutions, and how  persistent they are over time. In this context, questions  concerning the transparency of European decision-making are  approached: While formal coalitions have established an  administrative body to coordinate and represent the coalitions  activities, informal coalitions usually lack organizational  structures and a spokesperson. Therefore, they do not appear in  any kind of lobbying register, which, however, contradicts the  core principles laid down in the Commissions White Paper on  European Governance.
