遊說集團，又稱院外集團或政治遊說，是嘗試影響立法人員或立法機構成員的政治決定或行為。遊說由許多不同型別的人員、組織與團體，包括私人機構、企業、部分已經同意遊說目的的立法人員、政府人員或利益團體進行。遊說人員可能是某個選舉區的投票者或已經形成共識的某個團體，也可能是一家公司員工。專業的遊說人員可以代表他們的客戶去影響立法、行政法規、政府決策、行為或政策。個人或非營利組織也可能進行遊說，比如一家公司總裁為了一項計畫與某位代表會談，一個積極份子可能為了某個理念跟立法人員倡議某項法案，政府時常會界定並管制有影響力的遊說團體。 美國 美國議會政治中很有代表性的政治現象。很多為利益集團代言、也有不少遊說集團也同時為公眾利益代言，對擁有立法權的參議院、眾議院兩院的議員進行遊說，並從受益集團獲取經濟利益，這在美國的政治中心城市已經形成了一個產業鏈（旋轉門）。其代表人物是傑克阿布拉莫夫，有美國遊說業 教父 之稱。 相關 戰國策《說難》韓非 智庫 行動主義 倡導 利益團體 賄賂 財閥 門閥 貴族 深層政府 政治獻金 《攻敵必救》 2016 年美國電影，劇情描述遊說團體之間的競爭 參考文獻 P L Petrillo Form of government and lobbying in UE and UK in march 2013 Joos Klemens Lobbying in the new Europe Successful representation of interests after the Treaty of Lisbon 244 pages ISBN 9783527505975 Wiley VCH 2011 Geiger Andreas EU Lobbying handbook A guide to modern participation in Brussels 244 pages ISBN 3981131606 Helios Media GmbH 2006 GLOSSARY Alphabetical list of terms associated with the Lobbying industry The Bulletin 16 March 2006 p 14 Lobbying Europe facts and fiction The European Lawyer December 2005January 2006 p 9 The lobbyists have landed Financial Times 3 October 2005 p 8 Brussels braces for a US lobbying invasion Public Affairs News November 2004 p 34 Judgement Call The European Lawyer December 2004January 2005 p 26 Lifting the lid on lobbying Pier Luigi Petrillo Democracies under Pressures Lobbies and Parliaments in a comparative public law Giuffrè 2011 wwwgiuffreit Pietro Semeraro I delitti di millantato credito e traffico di influenzaed Giuffre Milano2000 Pietro Semeraro Trading in Influence and Lobbying in the Spanish Criminal Code PDF Wiszowaty Marcin Legal Regulation of Lobbying in New Members States of the European Union Arbeitspapiere und Materialien Forschungsstelle Osteuropa an der Universitat Bremen No 74 Heiko Pleines ed Participation of Civil Society in New Modes of Governance The Case of the New Member States Part 2 Questions of Accountability February 2006 PDF Heiko Kretschmer HansJörg Schmedes Enhancing Transparency in EU Lobbying How the European Commissions Lack of Courage and Determination Impedes Substantial Progress Internationale Politik und Gesellschaft 1 2010 S 112122 延伸閱讀 外部連線 美國 Lobbyistsinfo The largest comprehensive database of 22000 registered lobbyists Contains searchable profiles of lobbyists and government relations professionals their clients and issues Fortune listed the top 25 lobbying groups in 1999 LobbyWatch a project of the Center for Public Integrity with reports on lobbyists and lobbying efforts as well as a searchable database OpenSecretsorg NoLobbycom Capitalism Magazine minisite Opposes lobbying restrictions on free speech grounds The Citizens Guide to the US Government an online tutorial containing information for individuals who wish to address issues with their elected officials Free Speech National Right to Life page containing documents opposing excessive regulation of lobbying as infringement on right to petition guaranteed by the First Amendment Public Affairs Links First Street Research Group powered by httpswebarchiveorgweb20120115155817httpfirststreetcqpresscom reports and analysis on the lobbying industry US Senate LobbyingDatabase Search 歐洲 Public Affairs Jobs HQ news jobs for lobbyists and policy professionals The Lobby Ticker website of independent Austrian MEP HansPeter Martin with original lobbyist invitations and voting recommendations he received Commission for the Prevention of Corruption of the Republic of Slovenia PubAffairs the public affairs network Public Affairs World LobbyPlanet website Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation ALTEREU Corporate Europe Observatory CEO EuroBrussels the European Affairs Jobsite euroXpress wwweuroxpresses Spinwatch The New EU European Affairs Jobs Community Alliance for Lobbying Transparency UK based campaign OECD Special Session on Lobbying Enhancing Transparency and Accountability 78 June 2007 Y Y
