Europeizacja organizacji społeczeństwa obywatelskiego

Abstract: Organized interest groups and advocacy organizations in democratic states play a crucial role in shaping public policies and influencing the final form of development models implemented. Individual public policies are created and executed both at the national level and within the framework of the European Union (EU). Simultaneously, the process of European integration has led to an increased transfer of competencies from the national to the European level. Consequently, interest groups aiming to maintain influence over legislation cannot rely solely on access to national public policy channels; they must also invest resources in lobbying at the European level. Therefore, the goal of this analysis is to explore whether and how organized interest groups from selected Central and Eastern European countries are subject to Europeanization pressure.
