Based on cross-national survey data, it analyses how lobbying access to these important arenas of policy debate has changed after the outbreak of Covid-19. While there is only minor variation between the political arenas and countries, three clear findings stand out: 1) access to policy debatesremained relatively stable: for over 60 per cent of organisations, lobbyingaccess did not change in the first months of the pandemic; 2) access after theoutbreak of the pandemic is strongly related to pre-pandemic access, meaningit favours previous insiders; and 3) access still changed for a considerableshare of organisations. Especially organisations that considered themselvesmore heavily affected by the crisis enjoyed more lobbying access during thepandemic than less-affected organisations.",
