註釋The aim of this dissertation is to examine and test the theory of publicity's civilizing effect. The theory is tested on business lobbyists-presumably the most market-oriented actors in politics-trying to influence environmental policy decisions on two extreme points of the transparency scale: the notoriously opaque European Commission, on the one hand, and the Swedish government, with its centuries old 'publicity principle', on the other. The author begins by asking professional lobbying consultants to provide a guided tour of politics: how would they advise lobbyists to act in both private and public lobbying situations? The results of these interviews are compared and contrasted with an analysis of a unique sample of actual lobbying documents: previously confidential lobbying letters as well as public letters and press releases.
