Book excerpt: The term "lobbying" refers generally to any effort to communicate with legislators or other public officials against or in favour of a specific cause. Lobbying at the federal level was first governed by the Lobbyists Registration Act. It came into force in 1989 and established a registration system intended to foster the public's right to know and to be informed regarding who was trying to influence government policy in Canada. In 2008, following substantive amendments brought about by the Federal Accountability Act in 2006, the Act was renamed the Lobbying Act because the Act now seeks to regulate the activities of lobbyists rather than simply monitor them by means of a registration system. Currently, more than 5,000 lobbyists are registered to lobby federal public offices. In March 2011, prior to dissolution of the 40th Parliament, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics began the five-year mandated review of the Lobbying Act. As well, the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct, which came into force in March 1997, sets out ethical standards for lobbyists to follow in order to maintain public confidence in the "integrity, objectivity and impartiality of government decision-making." As such, it complements the disclosure and registration requirements of the Lobbying Act. Lobbyists are required to comply with the Code. This paper provides a review of the legislative history of the Lobbying Act and outlines how the Act and the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct operate in practice. It also considers the issues raised thus far in the course of the Act's 2011 statutory review.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State and local governments emerged as important interest groups in the 1960s, as that decade witnessed a rapid expansion of federal social programs administered at the state and local levels. The 1970s and 1980s were distinguished by attempts to give states and localities more responsibility over such programs. The present day is marked by an even more purposeful return of responsibility and policymaking to state and local governments, both because of severe deficits at the federal level and an ideological shift toward federalism. This work examines the impact state and local governments have had and can have on the federal government, asserting that they can be important factors in the creation of policy. The author looks at the intergovernmental lobbying tactics—successful and unsuccessful—of five states and local lobbying groups: the National League of Cities, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National Association of Counties, the National Conference of State Legislatures, and the National Governor's Association. Her study will be of interest to scholars and policy-makers at the local, state, and federal government levels.

Download or read book Revolving Door Lobbying written by Timothy LaPira and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades Washington has seen an alarming rise in the number of "revolving door lobbyists"—politicians and officials cashing in on their government experience to become influence peddlers on K Street. These lobbyists, popular wisdom suggests, sell access to the highest bidder. Revolving Door Lobbying tells a different, more nuanced story. As an insider interviewed in the book observes, where the general public has the "impression that lobbyists actually get things done, I would say 90 percent of what lobbyists do is prevent harm to their client from the government." Drawing on extensive new data on lobbyists’ biographies and interviews with dozens of experts, authors Timothy M. LaPira and Herschel F. Thomas establish the facts of the revolving door phenomenon—facts that suggest that, contrary to widespread assumptions about insider access, special interests hire these lobbyists as political insurance against an increasingly dysfunctional, unpredictable government. With their insider experience, revolving door lobbyists offer insight into the political process, irrespective of their connections to current policymakers. What they provide to their clients is useful and marketable political risk-reduction. Exploring this claim, LaPira and Thomas present a systematic analysis of who revolving door lobbyists are, how they differ from other lobbyists, what interests they represent, and how they seek to influence public policy. The first book to marshal comprehensive evidence of revolving door lobbying, LaPira and Thomas revise the notion that lobbyists are inherently and institutionally corrupt. Rather, the authors draw a complex and sobering picture of the revolving door as a consequence of the eroding capacity of government to solve the public’s problems.
