Noisy business politics: lobbying strategies and business influence after the financial crisis
本文研究商业政治中非“安静政治”的情况，以欧洲银行业改革为例，分析德国商业游说者如何通过提高议题显著性、扩大冲突的“嘈杂政治”策略，成功影响中小企业贷款监管规则。
This article argues that not all business politics is ‘quiet politics’ and it explores the conditions of when this is likely to be the case. Drawing on a remarkable lobbying success in the process of reforming banking in Europe, it shows that it was neither capture nor quiet politics within the financial expert community that led to the lobbying success. Business lobbyists from Germany, supported by representatives from other countries, obtained a favourable regulatory treatment of bank lending to small and medium-sized businesses thanks to noisy business politics. Noisy business politics seeks political influence through pressuring by raising the salience of an issue and expanding the conflict. This strategy is most likely to succeed if the mobilization of opponents can be countervailed through the use of frames that are widely perceived as legitimate and create positive perceptions.
