Class Dominance or Fracturing? Sources of Broad Interest in Lobbying by Fortune 500 Corporations
Are large corporations able to transcend individual self-interest in favor of a broad class interest, as suggested by class dominance theorists? Or, has the corporate elite become fractured? We address this ongoing debate through a unique case: the determinants of the breadth of corporate lobbying of the U.S. federal government. As predicted by the fracturing thesis, we find that financial companies no longer have a broader political interest tha…
The Political Strategies and Unity of the American Corporate Inner Circle
Recent work has offered competing explanations for the long-term evolution of corporate political action in the United States. In one, scholars have theorized that long-term structural changes in the American political and economic landscape may have radically transformed inter-corporate network structures and changed the political orientation of corporate elites. In another, a small group of corporate elites continues to dominate government poli…
Interlock Globally, Act Domestically
Long-term structural changes to the American economy, such as the decline of labor unions, the era of deregulation, and the decline of commercial banking and concomitant rise of investment banking, have led to scholarly debate over the extent to which the American business class is politically unified. At the same time, the increasing globalization of economic activity over the last half century has generated similar academic disagreement regardi…
Moral Economy, Structural Leverage, and Organizational Efficacy
In this article we use the Great Flint Sit-Down Strike as a strategic case for examining the issue of movement success in seemingly disadvantageous structural conditions. Through an application and elaboration of social movement and organizational theory to the Flint sit-down strike we identify four key factors that help to explain the emergence of successful collective defiance by labor: (1) the violation of the autoworkers’ moral economy by Gen…
Latino Faces, Corporate Ties
Although they have increased exponentially since the 1960s, social scientists know little about ethnic advocacy organizations. These nonprofits are important bridges between underresourced communities and mainstream funding organizations and their directors are established ethnic leaders. Sociologists study interlocking directorates—or shared board membership—to understand how organizations fit together within broader social networks. Network con…
What Shapes Corporate Involvement in Voter Referendums? The Case of Opposition to GM Food Labeling
What propels the involvement of large U.S. corporations into statewide voter referendums? We test the argument of whether corporate political behavior is characterized by firm-level factors or more relational sectoral and classwide networks. Using the 2012 ballot proposition to mandate labeling of genetically modified (GM) foods in California as a case, we analyze corporate donation patterns. We find that while individual interests are significan…
Evidence of a transnational capitalist class-for-itself
Transnational capitalist class (TCC) theory is rooted in the claim that the globalization of the economy has led to a globalization of economic interests and of class formation. However, systematic evidence linking the indicators of transnational class formation with political behaviour is largely missing. In this article, I combine data on board of director interlocks among the 500 largest business firms in the world between 2000 and 2006 with d…
Why They Juice
Why do some athletes use performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), while others opt not to use? Past research has focused on individual player attributes associated with PED use, but has left social factors unstudied. Utilizing novel datasets on PED use in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Major League Baseball (MLB), we explore the role that social forces play in PED use in pro sports. We find that PED use is concentrated in certain teams, that teams exper…
