THE PROFESSIONAL LOBBYIST'S DESK REFERENCE

The most comprehensive reference work today on the subject of lobbying, publica affairs and government relations

Lobbying is a multidisciplinary subject. The language lobbyists use derives from such disciplines as political science, law, politics, communications and public relations. The Professional Lobbyist's Desk Reference (300 pages) attempts to clarify the language used by practitioners and people involved in government relations. The work includes over 350 definitions in alphabetical order covering all aspects of government relations, public affairs, issue management, grassroots, lobbying techniques, tactics and strategies, legislation and media terms at the local, national, European and international level. The U.S. Public Affairs Council in Washington DC points out that "it's an excellent resource for the Public Affairs Executive working either side of the Atlantic-or both"
