  • The Influence of Interest Groups in the European Parliament: Does Policy Shape Politics?
    The Influence of Interest Groups in the European Parliament: Does Policy Shape Politics? Maja Kluger Rasmussen A thesis submitted to the Department of Government of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, August 2012. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,183 words. Abstract For a long time, the European Parliament (EP) was viewed as a lobbying sideshow mainly to be targeted if interest groups were unsuccessful at getting their demands included in the European Commission’s proposal. Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have a reputation for being particularly open to diffuse interests who, due to their limited resources, use ‘friendly’ MEPs to put pressure on the European Commission and the Council. The notion of the EP representing diffuse interests conflicts with the broader political science literature on interest groups, which dwells on business bias. There are, however, good reasons to doubt the EP’s reputation as a defender of diffuse interests. Much of our current knowledge about the EP’s interest group politics stems from a time when the EP’s legislative powers were more limited.

    10-03-2011 EN Debates of the European Parliament 1 THURSDAY, 10 MARCH 2011 IN THE CHAIR: MIGUEL ANGEL MARTÍNEZ MARTÍNEZ Vice-President 1. Opening of the sitting (The sitting was opened at 09:00) 2. Media law in Hungary (motions for resolutions tabled): see Minutes 3. Respect of national wage and retirement-setting mechanisms (debate) President. – The first item is the Commission statement on respect of national wage and retirement-setting mechanisms. Johannes Hahn, Member of the Commission. – Mr President, I would like to thank honourable Members for this opportunity to dispel some widely held misunderstandings regarding the Irish programme. The S&D Group’s question that gave rise to this statement raises honourable Members’ concern that certain economic policy conditions set out in the Memorandum of Understanding of the Economic Adjustment Programme for Ireland are in legal conflict with Article 153(5) of the Treaty. That paragraph excludes the adoption of provisions in the field of pay under Article 153, that is, in the field of social policy. However, the Economic Adjustment Programme for Ireland is not a social policy programme and is not adopted under Article 153. It is a financial assistance programme set up, together with the Irish Government, to restore domestic and external confidence and remove the harmful feedback loops between the fiscal and financial crisis. Therefore, it is grounded in Article 122(2) of the Treaty, which allows for Union financial assistance if a Member State is seriously threatened with severe difficulties caused by exceptional occurrences beyond its control. The role of the MOU is to specify the economic policy conditions that serve as a benchmark for assessing the Irish policy performance during the financial assistance programme.

LEAKY PIPELINE: GENDER DISPARITIES AT THE TOP OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION Despite the fact that women have entered law school in roughly equal numbers to men for two decades, gender disparities at the top of the profes­ sion remain. Women make up 19.5% of partners at the largest law firms, and 11% of the largest law firms have no women at all on their governing committees.' Only 23% of all federal judgeships are held by women, and 27% of state judgeships are held by women.2 Women constitute 20.6% of law school deans and 29.9% of full tenured law professors.3 Gender parity has been achieved at the entry point, but not at the top. The gender disparities at the top of the legal profession can be de­ scribed as a "leaky pipeline" problem. In 1993, women constituted 50.4% of J.D. students.4 In 2011, women made up 47.2% of J.D. students, and they * Professor of Law, Benjamin N.
