Does civil society mobilisation reduce socioeconomic bias in EU policy debate? A study by Evelien Willems, Iskander De Bruycker, and Marcel Hanegraaff reveals that active engagement by civil society organisations narrows the representation gap for people of low socioeconomic status. This offers a promising path toward more inclusive EU policy-making

Iskander examines the relationship between citizens, interest groups, and policymakers, exploring how lobbying can either amplify or undermine citizens’ voices in EU policymaking.
His work has appeared, among others, in the European Journal of Political Research, the Journal of Common Market Studies, and Political Communication.
