The Political Economy of the Small Firm (Hardcover, New)

Since the early 1970s, the small firm has received considerable attention from economists and politicians in the UK and the European Union, yet there has been a noticable lack of interest from the political science community. Now this has changed, and Charlie Dannreuther argues that this increased interest from political science in the institutional aspects of policy-making indicates a concern for the role of habitual and socially supported logics of action that may be a more appropriate way of explaining SME policy. He shows that the concept of legitimacy is central to recent political science writing on the New Institutionalism in Political Science.
This theoretical framework is applied to three arenas of political activity which are central to understanding policy-making in contemporary Europe: the identification and formation of societal interest; the making of national decisions and the development of policy in the European Union. Dannreuther concludes that, in addition to explaining SME policy and providing a framework for future analysis, the evolutionary approach outlined in The Political Economy of the Small Firm has much broader potential uses in the understanding of policy-making in a global society.
