Another economy is possible
Capitalism is widely perceived to be in serious trouble. Financial and currency crises, stagnating wage levels, growing inequality, stalled productivity growth, etc., have challenged its claims to
Germany
The policy debate within the British Labour Party after its traumatic electoral defeat in 2010 has been marked by a concern with Germany's system of economic governance as a potential model for renewal. The desirability of emulating key aspects of its institutions of economic democracy (codetermination) has been a particular subject of debate. This article analyses the source of Germany's attraction for many would-be reformers in the Labour movem…
Globalization, European integration and regulatory reform in Italy
Economic globalization and European integration present major challenges to the regulatory systems of European states. However, notwithstanding the severity of these pressures, there is clear evidence that their impact is significantly mediated by the specific political and structural characteristics of individual states. What is less apparent is precisely which characteristics matter and how much room for manoeuvre states enjoy. Frequently, thei…
Global Markets and National Regulation
Global market integration is widely perceived as presenting a major challenge to the sustainability of many national economic regulatory systems. There is far less agreement, however, about precisely how these pressures feed into the politics of reform and reshape national public policy. This article will seek to cast light on this relationship by identifying four influential ‘models of linkage’ between global pressures and regulatory change. It …
Economic Internationalization, Domestic Political Crisis and Corporate Governance Reform in Italy
A key question in current politics concerns the implications of the process of economic internationalization for the sustainability of national systems of economic regulation. It is predicted by many that, where such systems do not conform with the liberal norms of the emerging international economic order, they will be subject to enormous pressure to change. This article examines recent reforms in Italian corporate governance which initially app…
The 'Anglo-American' model, privatization and the transformation of private capitalism in Italy
Italian capitalism has long been distinguished by the large size of the public enterprise sector and the power of large family firms, underpinned by powerful networks of inter-firm alliance orchestrated by the merchant bank, Mediobanca. This article seeks to analyse the extent to which the current programme of privatization is serving not only to shrink the size of, but to transform the structure of, power in the private sector. While some reform…
Economic internationalization, business and national adaptation
European integration and explanations of regime change in Italy
Recent political and economic unrest in western Europe has given rise to a growing perception of the European Union as a key agent of fundamental economic and political change in many of its member states. As these states strained to meet the financial criteria for European Monetary Union, the broadly neo‐liberal path of European integration appeared to threaten the sustainability of many long‐established national institutions and policies. This …
Business power and collective action
In capitalist societies business is said to derive its power from its structural position in the economy. Yet, under certain conditions business finds it necessary to organise collectively to achieve its objectives. In Ireland, the state's economic policies have played a crucial role in shaping the pattern of trade associational activity. Relations between the state and the Confederation of Irish Industry between 1970 and 1990 were close, though …
