Resumo

This article analyses the access of interest groups to the governmental arena using an original database based on 2409 bilateral meetings that took place during the mandates of Mariano Rajoy and Pedro Sánchez and covering the period from 2012 through 2021. The analysis, based on exchange theory and agenda dynamics, finds that business groups meet more frequently with government agents than any other types of interest group, with significant differences by policy areas and the ideology of the governing party. The study also reveals that the governing PSOE-UP coalition had more interactions with interest groups and gave more access to trade unions and NGOs than governments led by the Partido Popular.
