Elgar Encyclopedia of Business and Government

This authoritative Encyclopedia surveys the scale, variety and quality of contemporary scholarship on the relationships between business and government. Drawing on economics, sociology, business studies and political science, world-renowned scholars explore a wide range of core and cutting-edge topics.

Providing contributions on issues faced by leaders in business, government and civil society, the Encyclopedia outlines how state-led structures determine business prospects and the extent to which they take into account societal values. It also explores how businesses impact politics and public policy through lobbying and campaign contributions, as well as through the practices and policies they pursue. Distinct themes emerge across the Encyclopedia, including critiques of contemporary capitalism, ways of improving the business–government relationship, technological innovations, key economic, political and social actors and growth and investment.

Presenting a contemporary guide to scholarship across a broad range of topics, the Encyclopedia is an essential reference for students and academics in corporate governance, business studies, sociology, economics and political science.
