On November 7 2023, DemoTrans and Utrecht University School of Economics (U.S.E.) will organise a workshop on Lobbying and Political Influence in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The purpose of the event is to bring together researchers working on the topics of lobbying, corruption, political connections and influence to present and discuss their ongoing research and to stimulate interaction and cooperation between them. We especially welcome submissions dealing with the effects of digitalization and transparency reforms on the aforementioned issues and applications in public procurement markets. Submissions dealing with broader issues in political economics are also welcome. The deadline for full papers is July 31, 2023.
The workshop is organized as a part of the DemoTrans project, a consortium of researchers from KU Leuven, Utrecht University, Charles University, University of Bergen and Tax Justice Network (TJN) investigating the interchange between globalization and democracy in Europe.
