Lobbying in modern democracies

Although lobbying is seen by the public as suspect, it is a normal part of the functioning of liberal democracies, bringing a range of benefits and potential problems to society as a whole. It is very closely linked to the issue of interest representation, interest groups and the functioning of civil society. The book Lobbying in Modern Democracies sheds light on the role of lobbying as one of the possible legitimate and legal techniques for exerting influence in modern democracies. It deals with the description of lobbying practice in selected contexts. The publication is intended especially for students of humanities and social sciences, professionals, public administration workers, people employed in the public, corporate and non-profit sectors.
