The Rise and Fall of High Definition Television
This article discusses the European attempt to revive the European consumer electronics industry by mobilizing resources in favour of High Definition Television (HDTV) technology. The policy was ultimately doomed, as digital technology and commercial broadcasters' actions undermined its viability and the public authorities, especially the European Commission, continued beyond the point at which failure was unavoidable. Nevertheless, the policy wa…
Technology policy and competition issues in the transition to advanced television services in Europe
The article examines the formation of European public policy to promote advanced television technologies over the last decade. Initial emphasis on support for the television manufacturing industry to promote an indigenous European analogue high definition television system has now changed to European Union support for a broader coalition of stakeholders, including broadcasters, to promote wide‐screen and digital television formats.

The Political Analysis of Ecunomic Markets
This article presents a framework drawn from Weber for analysing markets as dynamic processes in which competition is seen as a struggle to deny opportunities to others. Markets have a tendency to monopolization which arises from the efforts of economic actors to exclude others through a process of closure. The process whereby the excluded actors seek to undermine the power of the dominant actors is defined as usurpation. The article presents a c…

Reply to Leo Panitch's Review Article “Corporatism
Leo Panitch is at the same time far too generous and mistaken when he sees my book as representing the coming of the monopoly stage in the development of the growth industry of corporatism. If I were, by writing the first book-length work on the theory of corporatism, to succeed in cornering the vigorous international market in ideas, then this would be praise indeed. Of course, the notion is absurd and is as flawed as Panitch's reading of the bo…
Firm Strategies and Opportunism in West European Government-Industry Relations
A neglected area in the study of government?industry relations concerns the impact of government on the strategic behaviour of firms. Examples of the coordination of firm strategies by the state are rare in Western Europe, but interventionist policy measures do have a significant impact on the strategic calculus of firms. Relevant expertise concerning market prospects and problems tends to be monopolised by firms, and governments experience diffi…
Corporatism and Disciplinary State
Corporatism and Local Politics
So far the theoretical discussion of corporatism and the main body of empirical work have concentrated on the macro, or central, level of the political process. Corporatism has been identified in different ways, but whether as a new form of political economy or as a system of interest intermediation, the characteristic association of the term is with whole systems. The relevant interest organisations, whose interaction with state agencies forms t…

Pluralism, Corporatism and the Role of the State
THERE HAS RECENTLY BEEN A SPATE OF WRITING ON THE CONCEPT OF corporatism as part of the interpretation of contemporary British politics, and a series of articles by J. T. Winkler has provided a comprehensive and detailed frameword for the analysis of certain features of political practice. One of the purposes of this writing is to rescue the term ‘corporatism’ from its Italian and fascist connotations to permit a dispassionate examination of the …
