Abstract

Abstract. In Ukraine, the phenomenon of lobbying is outside the legislative field, despite the general trend towards institutionalization of instruments for involving citizens in the national policies formation and implementation. The article analyses various approaches to the lobbying definition, compares the positions of scholars, and encyclopedic sources. As a result, the own concept is defined, as an activity of individuals or legal entities and/or their associations, aimed at representatives of public authorities, related persons, to influence certain actions or omissions in the rule-making process.
