Democracy and political culture in the contextualization of the lobby

Abstract

Political culture can be defined as the set of attitudes, beliefs and values shared by citizens with regard to politics and the institutions of the state. It plays a crucial role in the functioning and regulation of lobbying in democratic regimes. This study analyses the influence of political culture on the functioning and regulation of lobbying in democratic regimes, with the objective of identifying practices that promote transparency, representativeness and equity in decision-making processes. Accountability is a fundamental element in the prevention of corruption, the increase of transparency, the improvement of efficiency, the strengthening of democracy, the assurance of accountability, the fostering of innovation and the promotion of justice and equity in public administration.
