Full Description
Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.
This illuminating Advanced Introduction explores the intricate relationship between business and politics. It examines how the political impact of business varies across governance levels, countries, institutions, issues and firms, using multidisciplinary perspectives to dissect these complex dynamics.
David Coen and Matia Vannoni discuss key concepts across a range of subject areas, including asset specificity and market concentration, interest intermediation, political lobbying, global governance, transnational business and the strategic deployment of resources. They comparatively analyse the political role of businesses across Western and non-Western countries, with detailed case studies comparing companies such as eBay and Alibaba and identifying key differences between the EU and the USA.
Key Features:

Provides practical insights into effective lobbying strategies and public policy implementation
Students and scholars of political economy and economics, political science, public policy and business and management will greatly benefit from this Advanced Introduction. It is also an essential resource for practitioners of public policy and administration.
