Marco Sonsini’s seminar about lobbying at the University of Turin  

Marco Sonsini of Telos A&S gave a seminar on “Being a lobbyist: an introduction to the job of a public affairs consultant”, hosted by Prof. Andrea Pritoni of the University of Turin and contributing to his course on “Policies and representation of interests in Europe”: it was a chance to explain to students what it means to work as a lobbyist and as a consultant, including through case studies.

Among the several questions raised by the students, the topic was raised of who sets the political agenda at a time when politicians appear to be weak vs. technocrats; one of the possible consequences of this state of affairs is that, for instance, regional administrations led by the same political parties may come up with radically diverging solutions when confronted with the same issue.
