| Research Abstract |
While national government officers have provided parliament members with necessary information in Japan, lobbyists have been playing the role in the USA. Lobbyists 1) target the lawmakers to persuade, 2) obtain access to them and staff, 3) activate and mobilize lawmakers' constituents, 4) support grassroots, 5) focus on their interests and local impacts, 6) build partnerships or stakeholder groups, 7) utilize think-tanks, 8) educate them, and 9) support media and education campaigns.
It is unlikely that lobbyist becomes an established profession in Japan because Liberal Democratic Party returned to power. However, the Japanese Parliament may hire scientists and engineers with doctor degree to educate parliamentarians and their staff as done in the USA.
