“…Surveys also provide detailed information about the internal workings of organizations such as decision making about issue attention and lobbying targets (Hojnacki and Kimball, 1998;Halpin and Binderkrantz, 2011;Marchetti, 2014), groups' relationships with their constituents/the broader public (Sabatier and McLaughlin, 1990;King and Walker, 1992;Leighley, 1996;Cox and Vass, 2000;Strolovitch, 2007;Binderkrantz, 2009;Holyoke, 2009), and groups' interactions with like-minded or oppositional organizations (Hojnacki, 1997;Hojnacki, 1998;Heaney, 2006).…”

“…A large number of studies utilize surveys to better understand the role of interest groups in the policy process (Hoefer, 1996;Cox and Vass, 2000;Dalton et al, 2003;Heaney, 2006;Fried, 2007;Reenock and Gerber, 2007;Hall and Miler, 2008;McKay, 2012) including the role groups play in shaping legislative behavior (Wright, 1990), and the influence of interest groups generally (Binderkrantz, 2005;Chalmers, 2011;Klüver, 2012a) or within particular policy areas (Goldsmith, 2002). Several studies use surveys to shed light onto how variations in institutional structure affect organizational behavior (Eising, 2004;Reenock and Gerber, 2007;Tsujinaka and Pekkanen, 2007;Klüver, 2010;Constantelos, 2011;Pleines, 2011) and to better understand groups' relationships and interactions with bureaucratic institutions, political decision-makers or governmental bodies (Braun, 2012a, b;Klüver, 2012b;The LSE GV314 Group, 2012;Rasmussen, 2012;Chalmers, 2013).…”

Scholars utilize a variety of research methods in studies of interest group formation, presence and influence. From aggregate counts of interest group populations to in-depth participant observation, scholars have used a variety of methods in studies of interest groups' role(s) in the policy process. The application of survey research has proven to be a successful method for obtaining group-specific information across a variety of group types and settings. Though organizational sampling and methods of survey dissemination can differ dramatically across studies, the subfield lacks a comprehensive review of the use of surveys within interest group research. This paucity leaves unanswered several questions regarding the frequency and efficacy of survey research within the subfield. What types of questions have been answered via surveys of organizations? What benefits are provided by this methodological approach? What challenges emerge when surveying interest groups and how have scholars overcome these obstacles? These questions are pertinent to scholars of interest groups and survey researchers alike, and this review provides guidance for the construction and dissemination of future interest group surveys.Scholars utilize an extensive array of research methods in the exploration of interest group formation, presence and influence. From aggregate counts of interest group populations to in-depth participant observation, the question of how interest groups function in the policy process has been, and continues to be, explored from myriad angles. Of these many approaches, survey research has proven to be one successful method for obtaining group-specific information across a variety of organizational types and settings. Though organizational sampling and methods of survey dissemination can differ dramatically across studies, the subfield lacks a comprehensive review of the use of surveys within interest group research. This review 1 provides information about the use of surveys in studies of interest groups with a focus on research questions that have been answered via survey methods, the unique challenge of identifying

“…Indeed, numerous existing studies have grappled with the role of interest groups in CEE politics (Cox & Vass, 2000;Fink-Hafner, 1998;Novak & Fink-Hafner, 2019), their relations with the state (Cox & Vass, 2000) and parliamentary representation . Other scholars have explored the activities of interest groups from the post-communist region in the European policy-making arena (Obradovic & Pleines, 2007;Pleines, 2010;Novak & Lajh, 2018), or vice versa, the impact of Europeanization on CEE interest groups (Fink-Hafner et al, 2015).…”

This book examines organized interests in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), providing incisive analyses in three critically important policy areas -healthcare, higher education and energy.The four countries surveyed -Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and the Czech Republic -afford rich diversity offering broad empirical material available for cross-country and cross-policy comparative analyses. Featuring interdisciplinary research, the book draws together recent developments in the evolution of post-communist advocacy organizations, their population ecology dynamics, interest intermediation, the influence of organized interests and their (bottom-up and top-down) Europeanization. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Central and Eastern European politics, interest groups and lobbying, post-communism, transition and consolidation studies, and more broadly to European studies/politics.
