**

*Two books to be publish in Europe and in India, in French and in English.*

Actual governance is connected with digital networks, with influence,
lobbying, and efficiency.

Influence and lobbying are practices issued from global stakes and
social networks. Influence refers to communication devoted to spread
ideas. Lobbying refers to the legal aspects when devoted to changing a
law according to a group’s interests, at least in European institutions.
In that project, we consider the existing lobbying regulation, rules and
procedures in Brussels as a model.Efficiency refers to the quality of
actors to be organized and strategic while campaigning.

On social change, research on NGOs dealing with social stakes,
underlines their lack of efficient strategies able to reach and impact
the policy makers. A reason is, when devoted to social change on local
or global topics, many NGO’s are reluctant to use the same tools,
strategy and methods than corporations, business bodies and even States, do.

*A European approach based on Brussels approach of lobbying*

The main topic of this project is to contribute to define and evaluate
the efficiency procedures developed by citizen driven organizations
doing influence and lobbying in European and Indian societies.
Practically speaking, NGO have better results by using competitive
intelligence approach, providing facts checked reports and delivering
coherent messages through social networks. Proposals could explore such
ways and many more.

*A comparative approach with India*

The project studies the lobbying principles and approaches in India
examining strategies trough case studies. It examines how NGO based in
India work and develop their relations with policy makers as well as
people at large. It would work on methods and actions by comparing them
to European ones.

In India, Transparency International analyzed that in Indian situations,
lobbying is deeply associated with money laundering. Moreover, the
academic and professional studies of lobbying and lobbying processes in
India have not yet been apparently in a serious and structured manner.


All proposals will be peer reviewed.

Two publishers will publish the selected papers in France and in India
in 2016.

Authors will be informed by end November 2015. Traduction will be provided.
