Abstract
The article addresses the micro-processes of the PJSC PIK’s lobbying activity in the context of the political and managerial dynamics in the global (world) city of Moscow. The study introduces and substantiates the concept of “spatial conversion” as a cyclical process of considering and incorporating individual and group interests of individual top managers and business organizations as political stakeholders in the framework of their activities for the generation of political rent and maximizing economic profit. The first part of the paper analyzes the impact of the international context, its conditions and factors on the implementation of construction policy and lobbying of large developers. The article distinguishes between the terms ‘‘lobbying’’ as a micro-political activity carried out by non-government stakeholders and ‘‘lobbyism’’ as a system of functional interest representation in a specific area.
