  • Views of Slovenian citizens on lobbying [Elektronski vir]
    Šeško, Cvetka ; Šumah, Štefan
    Commercial lobbying, i.e., influencing decision-makers with the help of a hired lobbyist, has its roots, according to most authors, in the early nineteenth century in the USA. Lobbying is a ... phenomenon that is familiar to all modern countries. It has become part of the democratic process of formulating and implementing public policy, and countries are trying to systematically regulate it through control and sanctioning. At the same time, lobbying is an industry involving billions of euros. It is also one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented activities in politics and public life in general. Not only among the general public but also among public officials, lobbying is very often equated with corruption. However, lobbying is inherently legitimate if it adheres to legal frameworks and rules and if registered lobbyists carry it out. Unfortunately, many individuals in Slovenia still try to influence decision-makers illegitimately. Consequently, the word lobbying in Slovenia usually has a negative connotation, with many equating it with one of the forms of corruption.
