Regionalism, Business Interests and Public Policy

"It is an important contribution from the Organization of Business Interests Project, and does credit to its editors." --Canadian Journal of Political Science "The book is well presented and contains a useful index....The book deserves to become a key reference in its field." --West European Politics "A useful addition to the literature on both local corporatism and sub- national politics." --Political Studies Does a relationship exist between regional protest movements and the territorial organization of business interests? The answer, according to the distinguished team of contributors assembled for this volume, is yes. From a comparative perspective, the contributors explore the catalytic role of business interests in regional movements over the past two decades. Drawing on case studies from nine nations, they discuss the broader policy roles played by territorial units of business interest associations. In addition, contrasting studies on the United States and West Germany are included which reveal a different picture where regional movements have not been a prominent feature of national political life. Regionalism, Business Interests and Public Policy will interest students and scholars in political science, public policy, business administration and sociology.Coleman, William D. is the author of 'Regionalism, Business Interests and Public Policy' with ISBN 9780803982727 and ISBN 0803982720.
