Abstract:

Lobbying activities are legitimate attempts by various kinds of organisations at having a say in policymaking. How these individual attempts come together to inform policies has major impacts on how our democracies work – not least in times of information-overload, post-factual tendencies and floods of AI-generated content.

The LOBBYMETRY project opens the blackbox of policymaker-lobbyist information exchange by combining perception-based data from interest group communities and policymakers in Europe with cross-venue analyses of information exchanges on climate, health and digital policy issues, relying on textual data, focus group interviews and participant observation.
