Does lobbying access actually mean lobbying influence?

In our new @jeppjournal.bsky.social paper we try to answer this key question in interest group politics and lobbying by exploring models of access = influence translation.

Zwart-rood in plaats van Bruin(s). Kijk eens wat er dan kan!
Duitsland beweegt zich weg van Nederland. De nieuwe Duitse regering investeert juist wel in de internationalisering van het hoger onderwijs en onderzoek, en wil de investeringen in onderzoek en innovatie verhogen naar 3,5 procent van het bbp.

Dank @merijnoudenampsen.org. Zoveel collega's en gerespecteerde media die meegegaan zijn in de hysterie rond het woke-spook aan de universiteit dat zij de agenda daarachter niet konden of wilden zien.
"Wat begon als kritiek op 'woke' aan de universiteiten is uitgegroeid tot een georganiseerde afkeer van wetenschap en academische vrijheid. De ridders van het vrije woord houden zich ondertussen opvallend stil."

Op 8 april 2025 rond de Kkokke van twee heeft het de Eerste Kamer behaagd de onderwijsbegroting van @eppobruins.bsky.social aan te nemen. De sloop van het hoger onderwijs in de slechtst mogelijke en gevaarlijkste periode voor Nederland vangt aan. De #Eppocalyps is hier. #WOinActie

Very important contribution by @jwmueller-pu.bsky.social
"Practices in academia are not identical to those in courts, law firms, and hospitals – but there are overlaps in what it means to be a professional. Since aspiring autocrats will attack any source of independent judgment, professions should stand up for each other."

To begin with, universities should not be intimidated by the claim that public opinion is turning against them. That’s not necessarily true

Waarom staken we? In het kort: Het kabinet-Schoof brengt de toekomst van Nederland in gevaar. Door de bezuinigingen moet belangrijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek stoppen –onderzoek dat hard nodig om urgente maatschappelijke problemen op te lossen. Dit kunnen we niet laten gebeuren. #DoeHetNiet.
