AbstractAccording to most of the literature available so far, international and European cross-border banks and investments firms are considered the primary beneficiaries of the CMU and related revitalization of securitization. Nevertheless, an in-depth analysis of the transnational financial industry lobbying and influence, in the light of the final agreement on the securitization reform package, is still missing. This paper intends to fill this gap in the story by assessing if, and to what extent, the alleged industry beneficiaries played an active role in shaping the regulatory agenda within the CMU project and its related outcomes. An in-depth analysis of corporate lobbying in the securitization reform is thus provided, by looking at the interactions between structural and political contextual factors in shaping private/public coalitions along the different stages of the EU policy-making process. As it is argued here, the policy entrepreneurship of the European securitization industry has been the key factor to explain the emergence of the EU regulatory approach and its legislative outcomes.

AbstractThis article focuses on how the 20 main Italian interest groups evaluated the contents of the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). In comparing its two versions (Conte Draft and Draghi Plan), we want to understand whether the change of government impacted on the contents of the NRRP and, in turn, on interest groups' preference attainment. To do so, we coded around 800 public statements following a multi-media approach. Interest groups' general appraisal for the NRRP grew with the change of government, while business groups greatly increased their degree of preference attainment. This within-case longitudinal comparison assesses the importance of governments' partisan composition to account for interest groups' success in the policymaking.

On 16-17 July 2021, in the Eurodoc Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Prague in hybrid format, the National Associations (NAs) approved for the first time the release of the Annual Report. 'The Eurodoc administration 2020/2021 wanted to increase the transparency of the voluntary contribution that the team performed during this year, and we are very happy for the positive support of all our members!' said Giulia Malaguarnera, outgoing President of Eurodoc. The Annual Report provides an essential summary of the main activities of the Eurodoc administration members 2020/2021 (Board, Secretariat, Advisory Board and task forces members). In continuity with the previous administration, Eurodoc raised the awareness of the Early Career Researcher (ECR) working conditions during the COVID-19 restrictions, increasing the visibility of this issue in the media. The Eurodoc NAs provided insights and survey results within their ECR communities. This helped the Mental Health Working Group reflect on the definition and perceptions of wellbeing/mental health in the different European ECRs' landscapes. One of the key topics that Eurodoc focused on in the report is Doctoral training and the debate on the future development of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) to link it more closely with the European Research Area (ERA). Highlights for the ECRs had been supervision, the research precarity, and contributions and reflections on the skills developed in performing research in- and outside Academia. Task Forces on Open Science and Research Integrity had been established to focus on Open Science Skills on one hand, and on Research Assessment on the other. During this term, the Democracy and Sustainability topics had been promoted and led by the Eurodoc Vice President, Beata Zwierzyńska by fostering collaboration within (1) the Council of Europe and (2) in the Civil Society convention on the Future of Europe. Further, the report presents the Eurodoc representation and mission with Eurodoc's participation in over 30 events. In ...
