Product Description
Over the past few decades the political
systems in advanced industrial societies have sailed through turbulent
times. The globalization and liberalization of markets – driven in part
by a revolution in communication technologies – coincided with an
unprecedented mobility of capital, goods and services as well as
increasing dependence of national polities on political and economic
processes beyond their immediate control. Although these changes did
not seal the end of the nation state, as some alarmist accounts had
predicted, it undoubtedly transformed political power structures. An
important question is how this deep structural change has affected the
political sub-system of associational interest intermediation. The
authors follow up that question by leaning on established accounts of
collective action research and including more recent insights from
organization theory, evolutionary theory and network analysis. They
present empirical results having been obtained from hundreds of
interviews with CEOs of business associations in the US, Britain,
Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The core sectors are chemicals and
information and communication technologies. There are also chapters on
automotives and the dairy industry
