Summary: "The conceptual and empirical papers included in this significant volume come together to address the question of how interaction between business associations and government is affected by Europeanization and globalization. Whilst some papers adopt a bird's eye view, others concentrate on individual industries or countries, and several, through examination and analysis, consider the effects on interest representation and the repercussions on effective governance.Contributed to and edited by leading academics, the diversity of research questions and methods used provide the reader with an excellent understanding of the subject, and importantly, caution against rash simplifications. This text will be of particular relevance to political scientists and sociologists."--Publisher description.
