“…While the embeddedness in domestic institutional structures is an important factor in securing agenda influence at the national level, there is a broad consensus that the feedback that groups produce alone secures similar influence at the supranational level (Lowery et al 2008 ;Quittkat and Kotzian 2011 ;Rietig 2014 ). When looking in particular at the European Union's supranational structure, Bouwen ( 2002Bouwen ( , 2004 argues that the type of feedback that groups produce is the most important resource at their disposal to gain access to different policymakers.…”

Although interests inhabit a central place in the multiple streams framework (MSF), interest groups have played only a minor role in theoretical and empirical studies until now. In Kingdon's original conception, organized interests are a key variable in the politics stream. Revisiting Kingdon's concept with a particular focus on interest groups and their activities-in different streams and at various levels-in the policy process, we take this argument further. In particular, we argue that specifying groups' roles in other streams adds value to the explanatory power of the framework. To do this, we look at how interest groups affect problems, policies, and politics. The influence of interest groups within the streams is explained by linking the MSF with literature on interest intermediation. We show that depending on the number of conditions and their activity level, interest groups can be involved in all three streams. We illustrate this in case studies reviewing labor market policies in Germany and chemicals regulation at the European level.

“…Among them are the impact of the EU on the demography of interest groups and civil society actors, their organisational practices and strategies and decisions to reorient their activities to the EU level or domestic actors' "usages of Europe" (Berkhout and Lowery 2010;Kriesi, Tresch, and Jochum 2007;Quittkat and Kotzian 2011;Sanchez Salgado 2014). On the other hand, scholars of European civil society ask how the actors defined as representing civil society contribute to democracy and legitimacy of the EU and EU policy-making (Liebert and Trenz 2009;Warleigh 2001).…”

The article analyses the effects of the EU on practices of interest intermediation in four Central and Eastern European (CEE) member states. It zooms in on the practical implementation of the EU partnership principle for the European Structural and Investment Funds as a requirement that prescribes a certain mode of interest intermediation. The article captures the state and evolution of practices of partnership and argues that a specific variety of partnership between the state and societal actors has emerged in the countries under scrutiny. Actors on the ground have actively engaged with the EU model of partnership, reinterpreted and adjusted it to the local conditions, thus producing a mixed model. The model is characterised by less institutionalised and formalised interactions between state and societal actors and actors' normative orientation to transparency as the main benefit and purpose of partnership.

“…With such volume, the impact of an individual response is likely to be minimal, such that diversity of responses provides room for manoeuvre for political institutions. Quittkat and Kotzian argued that participation in online public consultations by the 'usual suspects' in Brussels was primarily to be seen as 'playing the game' hoping to get access to, or a role in, the second tier of focused (non-public) consultations (Quittkat and Kotzian 2011). This follows an earlier line of reasoning by Broscheid and Coen, casting the procedures as seeking to accommodate a growing demand for public participation, but being in reality little more than a façade behind which a dialogue continues with insiders in more specialist consultative fora (Broscheid and Coen 2003).…”

The series maps the range of disciplines addressing the study of European public administration. In particular, contributions to the series will engage with the role and nature of the evolving bureaucratic processes of the European Union, including the study of the EU's civil service, of organization aspects of individual institutions such as the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the External Action Service, the European Parliament, the European Court, and the European Central Bank, and of inter-institutional relations among these and other actors. The series also welcomes contributions on the growing role of EU agencies, networks of technical experts and national officials, and of the administrative dimension of multilevel governance, including international organizations. Of particular interest in this respect will be the emergence of a European diplomatic service and the management of the EU's expanding commercial, foreign, development, security, and defence policies, as well as the role of institutions in a range of other policy areas of the Union.Beyond this strong focus of EU administrative governance, the series will also include texts on the development and practice of administrative governance within European states. This may include contributions to the administrative history of Europe, which is not just about rules and regulations governing bureaucracies, or about formal criteria for measuring the growth of bureaucracies, but rather about the concrete workings of public administration, both in its executive functions and in its involvement in policy-making. Furthermore, the series will include studies on the interaction between the national and European level, with particular attention to the impact of the EU on domestic administrative systems.
