Regulating Lobbying in Europe: No Model Fits All?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper addresses the question whether there are common transposable standards on which lobbying laws in individual European countries may be based. First, lobbying and other anti-corruption regulations currently in force in European countries are shortly described. Lobbying regulations in the US and at the EU level and their development are subsequently discussed in more detail. Second, the paper asks whether a common definition of lobbying may be found and what is its value for academic research. Third, anti-corruption legislation in European countries is subjected to comparative analysis with the aim to find links between legal regulations and transparent lobbying. The core of the paper features a juxtaposition of corruption levels and adopted legal regulations. The cases of France, Estonia, Poland, and Latvia are highlighted as different approaches that are supposed to achieve the same goal. Finally, the results of the analysis indicate that there indeed may be a common core of lobbying regulations which improves the quality of the anti-corruption legal framework at the national level; however, the significance of details of such regulations and their complementarity cannot be overstated. To develop these standards further and offer them to real-world practitioners should be the next step in this research agenda.
