A pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa, uma vez que não houve preocupação com os números e sim com a percepção dos entrevistados. Além disso, os dados coletados na pesquisa de campo foram interpretados e alinhados com o referencial teórico desse trabalho. Quanto à metodologia, foi classificada como exploratória, uma vez que ainda há pouco conhecimento sobre a influência de grupos de interesse no Congresso Nacional, do tipo pesquisa de campo e de estudo de caso por se tratar especificamente da exploração do gás de xisto. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas e da aplicação de questionário com um roteiro previamente estabelecido. Após a análise dos dados, concluiu-se que há duas correntes que atuam na agenda do gás de xisto. A primeira tem um posicionamento que preza pela precaução, ou seja, é necessário que se descubra os impactos da exploração da atividade no meio ambiente antes que se decida iniciar a exploração e a produção do gás de xisto. A segunda corrente defende a exploração desse gás não convencional como forma de reduzir os custos de produção e aumentar a competitividade do país. Foram identificados 39 stakeholders que influenciam o andamento do Projeto de Lei 6904/2013, que suspende a autorização e a exploração do gás de xisto por um período de cinco anos. Isso mostra que os grupos de interesse, uns mais poderosos que outros, têm papel importante na formulação de políticas públicas e, através do lobby, buscam influenciar os tomadores de decisão de acordo com os seus objetivos. / This study aimed to identify the stakeholders that influence the shale gas agenda in the brazilian parliament. The research had a qualitative approach since there was no concern with numbers but with the perception of respondents. In addition, the data collected in the field research was interpreted and aligned with the theoretical material. Regarding the methodology, it was classified as exploratory as yet little is known about the influence of interest groups in Congress, the type of field research and case study because it specifically deals of exploration of shale gas. Data collection was done through interviews and a structured questionnaire. After analyzing the data, it has been concluded that there are two stances in the shale gas agenda. The first one has a position that values caution, that is, it is necessary to know about the environmental impact of the exploration activity before deciding to start the exploration and production of shale gas. The second stance defends unconventional gas exploration in order to reduce production costs and increase competitiveness. They identified 39 stakeholders that influence the progress of the Projeto de Lei 6904/2013, suspending the permit and the exploitation of shale gas for a period of five years. This shows that interest groups, some more powerful than others, play an important role in the formulation of public policies and, through lobbying, try to influence decision-makers according to their goals.

Diploma thesis "Interest Groups, lobbying and it's regulation in the Czech Republic" deals with the phenomenon of lobbying and it's role in democratic political processes. First part of this thesis is aimed at political theories of interest groups, various definitions of lobbying and methods of regulating lobbyists. The second part containes a comparison of lobbying regulations in various western states. The third part containes an analysis of the present state of lobbying regulation in the Czech Republic. In the final fourth part, certain methods of lobbying regulation are proposed to take place in the Czech Republic and scrutinized for compliance with the oppinion of Czech political elites and professional lobbyists.

Les médias sociaux occupent un rôle grandissant dans de nombreux domaines de notre vie quotidienne. Parmi d'autres, les réseaux sociaux tels que Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn et Google+ dont la popularité a explosé ces dernières années, attirent des millions d'utilisateurs qui se communiquent, publient et partagent des informations et contenus à un rythme sans précédent. Outre les avantages reconnus, les réseaux sociaux ont également soulevé des problèmes divers. Nous sommes particulièrement intéressés par deux problèmes spécifiques : surcharge d'information et cloisonnement de données. Ces deux problèmes empêchent les utilisateurs d'exploiter pleinement et efficacement la richesse des informations poussées sur les réseaux sociaux. Les utilisateurs ont des difficultés pour filtrer tous les contenus reus, pour découvrir de nouveaux contenus au-delà de leurs réseaux personnels, et surtout pour partager les contenus intéressants avec leurs différents groupes d'intérêt. Pour aider les utilisateurs à surmonter ces difficultés, nous proposons une Approche centrée sur utilisateur et basée groupe pour filtrer et partager des données sociales. Cette nouvelle approche a un double objectif : (1) permettre aux utilisateurs d'agréger leurs données sociales en provenance de différents réseaux sociaux, d'en extraire des contenus de leur intérêt et (2) organiser et partager les contenus au sein de différents groupes. Les membres d'un groupe sont en outre en mesure de choisir quelle partie de leurs données à partager avec le groupe et définir collectivement les sujets d’intérêt de ce dernier. Pour implémenter l'approche proposée, nous spécifions une architecture de système comprenant plusieurs modules extensibles, et nous développons un prototype fonctionnel basé Web, appelé SoCoSys. Les résultats expérimentaux, obtenus des deux tests différents, valident les valeurs ajoutées de notre approche. / The social media have played an increasingly important role in many areas of our every day life. Among others, social network sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+ have recently exploded in popularity by attracting millions of users, who communicate with each other, share and publish information and contents at an unprecedented rate. Besides the recognized advantages, social network sites have also raised various issues and challenges. We are particularly interested in two of them, information overload and "walled gardens". These two problems prevent the users from fully and efficiently exploiting thewealth of information available on social network sites. The users have difficulties to filter all incoming contents, to discover additional contents from outside of their friend circles, and importantly to share interesting contents with their different groups of interest. For helping the users to overcome such difficulties, we propose a User-centered and group- based approach for social data filtering and sharing. This novel approach has a twofold purpose : (1) allow the users to aggregate their social data from different social network sites, and to extract from those data the contents of their interest, and (2) organize and share the contents within different groups. The members of a group are moreover able to choose which part of their social data to share with the group, and collectively define its topics of interest. To achieve the proposed approach, we define a modular system architecture including a number of extensible modules, and accordingly build a working Web-based prototype, called SoCoSys. The experimental results, obtained from the two different tests, confirm the added values of our approach.
