Global business tends to be perceived as a number of individual but
powerful multinational corporations, capable of controlling markets
and influencing political decisions; in fact, global business is
highly organized through a plethora of associations that bring
together competing companies and conflicting national businesses.
Indeed, global business associations have a long history and, with
accelerated globalization, further opportunities emerge for unified
business action. This book fills a significant gap in the current
literature, examining the pivotal role of global business
associations and providing a concise and accessible overview of
their different functions in a range of institutional contexts.
Beginning by clarifying the concept of global business
associations, the author puts their role into a historical and
contemporary context in which their economic, social and political
functions are sketched. Their historical origin is outlined,
including the proliferation of global associations in the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries. He then moves on to explore and analyse
the different types of actors, explaining key categories and their
place in the organization of global business with chapters on peak
associations (e.g. ICC and WEF), industry associations, alliances,
as well as clubs and think tanks, and facilitators. Covering the
history, current role and future evolution of this dynamic category
of associations, this work will be essential reading for students
and scholars of international political economy, international
relations, international organizations and global governance.
