Lobbyismus

Lobbyismus, or lobbying, involves individuals or groups trying to influence government decisions and policies. Lobbyists represent specific interests—such as companies, unions, or non-profit organizations—and seek to shape legislation or regulation in their favor. They do this by providing information, expert opinions, and proposing solutions to policymakers. While lobbying is a legitimate part of democratic processes, it can raise concerns about unequal influence if certain groups dominate the dialogue. Overall, lobbying aims to ensure that decision-makers understand various perspectives before making laws or policies.
