What networks are developed for successful regional lobbying? The case of the airport of El Prat (Barcelona)

The new management arrangements for Barcelona's El Prat airport are yet to be finalised. Two Catalan business associations – the Cercle d’Economia and Cambra de Comerç – are amongst the actors attempting to negotiate a final formula. Though based on attributed influence focused on the perceptions of internal witnesses, the study indicates that during the last two years, these two quite different associations both achieved a degree of representation of their interests in relation to the management of El Prat.
