Abstract

When do interest groups target legislators to approach or lobby under strong presidentialism? This article explores two hypotheses. First, interest groups and lobbyists seek to access committee chairs with gatekeeping power, even in those jurisdictions where the executive holds (most) exclusivity to initiate legislation (Gatekeeping Hypothesis). Second, interest groups and lobbyists target legislators who introduce more bills on issues that concern them but only on policy areas outside the executive's exclusive sphere (Legislative Activity Hypothesis). We test these hypotheses with evidence from the Chilean Chamber of Deputies. We have coded and analysed 6479 lobbying audiences and over 2300 bills.

利益集团何时在强有力的总统制度中游说立法者？

在强势总统制下，利益集团何时会以立法者为目标进行接触或游说？本文探讨了两个假设。首先，利益集团和游说者会寻求接触拥有把关权力的委员会主席，即使在行政部门拥有（大部分）发起立法专属权的司法管辖区也是如此（把关假说）。其次，利益集团和游说者的目标是那些就与其相关的问题提出更多议案的立法者，但这些议案只涉及行政部门专属领域之外的政策领域（立法活动假说）。我们利用智利众议院的证据来验证这些假设。我们对 6479 名游说对象和 2300 多项议案进行了编码和分析。
