摘要
This paper provides a network analysis of federal lobbying in Canada by the fossil fuel industry and compares lobbying across the Harper Conservative and Trudeau Liberal administrations. The network we uncover amounts to a small world of intense interaction among relatively few lobbyists/firms and public officials in select centres of state power. Under Trudeau we find that the majority of lobbying is carried out by the same large firms as under Harper, while lobbying has become trained on fewer state agencies. We consider lobbying to be an important channel through which the fossil fuel sector shapes government policy.
