British Military Bands, Propaganda, and Diplomacy, 1872–1918
During the First World War, British military bands went on tours to Paris (1917) and Italy (1918) to generate support for the Allied war effort. These ‘propaganda tours’ marked the culmination of a trend that emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century when military musicians assumed the role of cultural envoys of the state. With retreat from ‘splendid isolation’ at the turn of the century, the nascent e ntente cordiale witnessed a burge…
Living Hand to Mouth: Why the Bohemian Lifestyle Does Not Lead to Wealth Creation in Peripheral Regions?
Using demographic data from a study of micro and small business owners operating in the crafts industry in rural Mid and West Wales, this paper identifies a mismatch between government business incentives and the bohemian values of local enterprises. This is highlighted as a contributing factor to explain why creative organizations in Wales do not generate the regional economic wealth expected from those working within the creative industries. Ch…
Corporate Political Activity: A Literature Review and Research Agenda
This paper reviews the diverse literature on corporate political activity (CPA) and develops a framework that details and integrates existing research in this field. A systematic analysis of extant CPA literatures is conducted to order them into domains that have implications for organizational performance. The paper is structured into three such domain emphases, which require further research investigation: resources and capabilities focus; inst…
Theory and Practice in Tocqueville and Kant: Reflections on Ralph Hancock'sThe Responsibility of Reason
Ralph Hancock’s Responsibility of Reason represents an important addition to the literature on the crisis of modernity. This article focuses on his account of the origins and nature of modernity and his claim that Tocqueville exemplifies the best way to work through the crisis of modernity. It then suggests that Hancock’s own reflections on the nature of human existence require a more balanced or even positive assessment of modernity than the one…
Multinationals and NGOs amid a changing balance of power
The role of private non-state actors in global governance has focused largely on western actors, notably firms and non-governmental organizations. The rise of new economic powers presents us with an opportunity to consider whether and how the place of non-state actors might evolve. This is particularly true where emerging market firms are concerned, as they are the most obvious manifestation of the shift in economic power away from the developed …
The Diminishing Returns to Trade Policy in the European Union
The notion that the EU is a trade power is central to studies of the Union's international presence. Credible threats to withhold access to Europe's markets are said to provide the Union with leverage in respect of other trade partners. This article queries the continuing ability of the European Union to act effectively this way. The current Doha malaise is a symptom of deeper changes in the international trade system. As emerging markets become …
No more euro-champions? The interaction of EU industrial and trade policies
Trade liberalization makes markets more contestable and so opens opportunities for firms: it also exposes domestic firms to more severe competition. Governments come under conflicting pressures to ensure foreign market access whilst preventing 'unfair competition from abroad in the domestic market. Liberalization under both the single market and the WTO has placed greater emphasis on innovation policy as a mechanism to encourage firm adjustment a…

Transatlantic divergence: GE–Honeywell and the EU's merger policy
This paper analyses the reasons for the severe EU-US disagreement over the proposed merger of two US firms, General Electric and Honeywell, which would have been the largest industrial merger in history. The case, one of the relatively rare instances where the European Commission prohibited a merger, is interesting because the EU and US authorities took opposing decisions even though the merger affected world markets. The paper argues that the Co…

Government–Business Strategies in EU–US Economic Relations: The Lessons of the Foreign Sales Corporations Issue
The increasingly complex character of the US–EU economic relationship is well understood. Within this relationship, trade politics is an important setting for the interaction of firms, states and civil society. Focusing on a highly significant transatlantic trade dispute relating to a US tax policy (called foreign sales corporations), the article explores the business–government interactions generated. We conclude that such cases illustrate how t…
National policy for internationalized industries: Neo-liberal interventionism and the UK aerospace industry
The article examines the current reassessment of British policy for the aerospace industry in terms of new theoretical work on state-firm relations. This new work suggests that globalization is affecting traditional patterns of industrial policymaking. Firms are now the dominant actors in the market-place and the role of government is defined by two goals: supporting home firms in international competition, and making the domestic economy an attr…

The individualistic imagination and natural resource policy
Natural resource policy in this country is analyzed, with special reference to national forest management. Past and present public forest management are tied to the individualistic tradition of liberal thought stemming from the Enlightenment. The individualism of the liberal tradition has generated difficulties in natural resource management that affect the major policy approaches of today. Particular attention is given to the individual and the …
