https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2023-4-1395
Abstract
Aim. To consider the institutionalization of lobbying from the viewpoint of different approaches to the interpretation of the term "institutionalization" and its refraction in the context of lobbying.
Methodology. The main content of the study is the analysis of foreign and domestic literature in the context of the development of scientific thought about the institutions and the institutionalization of such a political process as lobbying. The author uses both general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison) and methods of political science (for example, institutional method).
Results. In the article, the author considers normative, organizational, interactive approaches to the lobbying institutionalization interpretation. The integral approach is also used for a more comprehensive and in-depth consideration of the process.
Research implications. The article reviews the evolution of theoretical concepts, as well as in highlighting the specifics of lobbying as a process within the framework of four scientific approaches. The practical significance is in the analysis of the structural elements of lobbying, which can be used to develop mechanisms for managing this practice.
