Abstract
Lobbying transparency seems to have been a challenging topic for nearly a decade. For
the purposes of the article, the authors focus on a contextual analysis of rules and measures that offers both a broad as well as comprehensive view of the required transparency
of lobbying activities and the environment in which decisions are made. In this regard,
focusing on the sunshine principles/sunshine rules (not purely limited to laws) provides
a grasp of the whole issue in a broader context. From a methodological point of view, the
exploratory approach was chosen and the coding procedure is mostly dichotomous. As
a result, seven key areas with 70 indicators have been identified in terms of transparency
of lobbying and decision-making.
