There is a general agreement, however, that the member states, especially smaller ones, have to engage actively in policy-making in order to promote their particular interest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cross-policy comparison of the behaviour of Czech Republic’s representatives in the Council and the methods they use to influence the decision-making applies categorisation from lobbying literature to analyse the behaviour of the member state’s representatives and contributes to two strands of scholarship on European Union politics - decision-making in the EU and Europeanization. The book maps the methods of interest promotion that can be used by a member state and analyses the differences in interest promotion across external policy areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237563257176,"sku":"9781032179285","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032179285_261783d9-9d08-444f-bfc4-7bda8754a2c5.jpg?v=1769561137","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/promoting-national-priorities-in-eu-foreign-policy-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
