Understanding Business Power in Global Governance by Doris A. Fuchs Pdf
Analyses of globalization and global governance frequently identify business actors, in particular TNCs, as the major beneficiaries of assoviated changes in the political capacities of state and non-state actors. This book examines in a systematic, comprehensive and theoretically grounded manner to what extent and in which aspects the political power of business really has risen. It thus analyses developments in business' lobbying, agenda- and rule-setting, and political communication activities at the national and supranational levels from a three-dimensional perspective on power. On that basis, Understanding Business Power in Global Governance delineates qualitative and quantitative changes business' political activities and links them to a differentiated view of developments in the instrumental, structural, and discursive power of business in the globalized world.
