What is
"Skuggspel"?
Skuggspel by Mats Engström offers an in-depth exploration of lobbying and political influence, shedding light on the often-overlooked ways in which interest groups shape policy and public discourse.
Through careful research, the book examines how advocacy efforts and behind-the-scenes strategies contribute to decision-making at the highest levels.
Key Themes: Covert Campaigns: How public discourse is shaped through public affairs firms, think tanks, and media strategies. Energy and Policy Debates: A closer look at the discussions around energy policy, including nuclear subsidies and renewable energy investments. The Growth of Lobbying: Analyzing the expanding role of lobbying firms in government decision-making.
Engström’s work encourages readers to consider the broader implications of political influence and its role in shaping society.
"There is a need for political leadership that is prepared to take certain risks to secure the integrity of the democratic system against hidden influence."
