The relationship between business and the State have constantly been in the focus of attention of both domestic and foreign researchers studying the contemporary political process. However, aspects related to the political management of communicative and intersectoral interactions of interested stakeholders, such as GR management, are rarely given appropriate attention in political science. The book under review, authored by a team of experts in this field, is devoted both to the theoretical understanding of these aspects of political communications and to the analysis of specific lobbying practices as mechanisms for promoting corporate interests. Presenting modern approaches to structuring this important domain of political management, the book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and lobbying practitioners alike. While the primary focus is on Russian practices, the analysis also incorporates relevant international cases.
