The Persuaders podcast - season 3, episode 2 - Assistant Professor Wiebke Junk - Is There a First Mover Advantage in Lobbying?

This time Anders Kopp Jensen talks to Wiebke Junk, an Assistant Professor at the University of Copenhagen. The starting point for their conversation in this episode is Wiebke's paper from 2022 "Is There a First Mover Advantage in Lobbying? A Comparative Analysis of How the Timing of Mobilization Affects the Influence of Interest Groups in 10 Polities", co-authored with Michele Crepaz and Marcel Harnegraaff.

Among other things they cover:

  • The effect of timing in lobbying
  • Who can benefit from early lobbying
  • What are the mechanisms behind timing
  • The supply & demand side for moving early
  • Why jumping to the front of the line and shouting is not always the right thing to do
  • If small lobby organisations can just copy the big ones
  • And finally they discuss if it's only resources that matter in the end

30 minutes filled with insights about Public Affairs.
