Synopsis

This is a study of how business interacts with parties, politicians and bureaucrats to defend its interests in a variety of western democracies. The way in which businesses attempt to protect their interests in modern societies varies significantly from country to country and from one time period to another. This second edition has been revised to take into account the triumph of market ideas in the 1980s, and a new chapter on Italy has been added. The book is largely aimed at undergraduate courses in politics, political sociology and business studies.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The third edition of this popular text has been completely revised to reflect the enormous changes in business-government relations that have taken place in advanced industrialized societies in recent years. Globalization, violent protests against international organizations such as the World Trade Organization, and the surge in international trade have affected the way business interacts with government in the twenty-first century. As in previous editions, Graham K. Wilson focuses on individual countries to illustrate different models of business-government relations including the U.S., Britain, Germany, Scandinavia, Italy, France, and Japan. New to this edition are Wilson's exploration of how government-business relations have been challenged by globalization and his evaluation of its consequences for different countries.
