MAY 3, 2019
300 WALLACE HALL

​BY INVITATION ONLY

Organized by Sebastian Thieme and Charles Cameron


​This CSDP workshop on Lobbying and Institutional Performance aims to spread knowledge about new theories, data, methods, and results in lobbying research, and to generate new research questions and new ideas for testing theories of lobbying. 
 
This workshop complements an earlier, larger conference on lobbying and interest groups that was held at Duke University in early March.
