Abstract
This chapter builds a framework for analysing the effectiveness of lobbying. It reviews the political science literature and deduces eight propositions within the context of a multi-level framework. It examines the macro-level, an overall view of the policy process; the meso-level, which concentrates on networks; and the micro-level, concerned with personal interactions.

Notes
David Marsh notes: contemporary pluralism recognises an increased role for the state. This is particularly clear in the work of Nordlinger who emphasises the autonomy of the democratic state and views pluralism as much in terms of conflict between the different interests of sections within government as in terms of conflict between interest groups within civil society. See D. Marsh (1995b). Jordan argues ‘those wishing to bring the state back in also want to decompose the state. The weak state is fashionable. There is no longer a homogeneous state.’ Jordan (1990b), p. 484.
