Negative effects of lobbying politics by interest groups in the United States

Abstract

The lobbying influence of interest groups in the United States stems from the political system, the competition between private and public interests, and the influence of values such as pragmatism and liberalism in the culture. These factors support the lobbying activities of interest groups and become a means for them to pursue special interests and ease internal conflicts. In political decision-making, when special interests conflict with public interests, officials tend to safeguard national interests, which actually promotes the private interests of interest groups. This kind of lobbying politics has led to negative impacts such as lack of social fairness, government corruption and inefficient governance in the United States
