Publisher's Synopsis
This book analyzes the processes required to achieve major government decisions. The introduction by Professor Clem Lloyd provides the first analytical account of the function of special-interest influence peddling and its impact on political processes.;Using case studies, Peter Cullen describes how decisions made by governments are initiated or overturned by careful, well thought out and closely managed lobbying campaigns. The case studies are drawn from a cross-section of the community, from corporations as well as individuals.;This book emphasizes that the processes of government are not beyond understanding and that, with professional lobbying, political decision-making can be influenced very effectively.
