Abstract

This panel delves into the increasing significance of corporate political activity. On one hand, contributions examine the influence of structural and instrumental power across various contexts and outcomes. These papers explore how lobbying affects government regulations, firm profitability, and international governance. On the other hand, they investigate scenarios where governments dictate firms’ political behavior through regulation or when business figures transition into politics themselves.
