Transparency in accounting and corporate governance, politics, and law - towards improved regulation of lobbying (the case of Lithuania)
ENThe main purpose of regulation of lobbying is to ensure transparency in interaction between public authorities and lobbyists. It is stated that regulation of lobbying is often unable to achieve this purpose on a more significant level, but the purpose itself is practically excluded from scientific legal discussion on regulation of lobbying. Transparency is a diffuse category whose content significantly depends on the field in which the category is being applied. The concept of transparency is most common and widespread in the context of the EU's political thought and legal regulation, accounting and corporate governance. Considering the status quo of the research of regulation of lobbying, there is a reason to believe that interdisciplinary initiative directed to the analysis of the purpose of regulation of lobbying, i.e. transparency, utilizing the latest insights of accounting and corporate governance research, political science, and jurisprudence can potentially enrich the scientific discussion on the topic of regulation of lobbying (in the case of Lithuania).
