The objectives set are aimed at a general and specific comparison to obtain a typical profile of the professionals of both countries. To this end, an exploratory methodology has been used, with a multivariate statistical analysis, completed with a descriptive analysis of an inductive nature, through a sample of 1,000 professional lobbyists in Spain and France in 2024. The results obtained provide a profile of lobbyists in Spain and France based on their social, academic, and professional nature. The main conclusion is that in these two countries these professionals classify their work as being in the field of “Public Affairs,” their academic background is mainly in Law and Political Science, and they live in large urban areas. 2025-01-23T12:51:17Z 2025-01-23T12:51:17Z 2025-01-23T12:51:17Z 2024 journal article Guerra-Heredia, S., Lobillo-Mora, G., Martín-Martín, P., & Espino-González, J.
