‘For some the answer is that those working in the public affairs field handle and advise on organisational relationships with government, while for others, the role is primarily one of lobbying. Those adopting a broader perspective see public affairs as managing a broader range of relationships with organisational stakeholders, particularly those which may have public policy implications, in which they may employ a range of marketing communications and public relations tools’.

Harris and Moss, in search of public affairs, 2001
