Institutional Capture and the Evolution of Legislative Goals
Smaller organizations funded by larger NGOs and charities are spreading model laws around countries, leading to institutional capture. This phenomenon is evident in Ireland's adoption of gender self-ID laws in 2015 through the influence of activists. The shift in focus of NGOs and charities towards new legislative goals, as historical objectives like women's rights and racial equality are mostly achieved, is pushing for new causes like gender self-ID. The adoption of such causes may also be driven by the trendiness associated with them.
