Member of:
Wiebke Marie Junk is Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science. Her research interests link to public policy, comparative politics, European Union (EU) and global governance, and democratic participation. Her work addresses policy processes at national and European Union (EU) level, and focusses especially on the influence of non-state actors on political decision-making.
She was part of the GovLis Project (Short for: When does Government Listen to the Public?), which assesses conditions for government responsiveness to public opinion and interest groups. She obtained her PhD at the Department of Political Science in 2018 based on her dissertation on lobbying coalitions.
Her PhD project looked at coalition behaviour between interest groups and assessed the effects of different types of cooperation between lobbyists on their ability to reach policy makers and attain policy preferences.
Current research
Wiebke's latest research addresses the role of interest groups in policy processes in Europe.
In May 2020, she initiated the InterCov Project, which analyses the effect of the Coronavirus crisis on political interest representation in nine European countries and at EU-level. InterCov is an international cooperation between researchers in Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands.
Wiebke's work has been published in the American Journal of Political Science (AJPS), Journal of European Public Policy (JEPP), Governance, European Journal of International Relations (EJIR) and in Comparative Political Studies (CPS).
