Abstract
This contribution asks how business actors seek to exert influence throughout the cycle of lawmaking at the European level. More specifically, the paper examines how business associations in three sectors (plastics industry, producers of home appliances, electronics industry) use self-regulation and litigation to a varying extent. Conceptually the comparative case study bridges governance research and the literature on International Political Economy (IPE). Taking into account both conflictual and cooperative settings between public and private actors adds to the discussion on the socalled shadow of hierarchy in governance research. With respect to IPE categories on business power the findings show that we need to go beyond analyzing instrumental power, that is direct business influence on legislation, in order to systematically take into account structural power. The case study shows that business associations mobilise diverse regulatory strategies with the objective to shape, substitute, prevent, block or revoke regulation.
