Originally published in 1985, this book provides a comprehensive
discussion of the concept of corporatism. It seeks to develop
models of the different types of corporatism against the background
of a general model. It represents a systematic attempt to clarify,
rather than simply discuss, the concept of corporatism in its
various usages. It examines the three varieties of corporatism: a
body of nineteenth- and twentieth-century prescriptive economic and
social thought; the practice of certain authoritarian regimes with
private ownership of the means of production and wage labour; and a
theoretical tool of analysis employed to study relations between
organised groups and the state in ostensibly liberal democracies.
It draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary writing on
the subject, and includes a detailed study of the ideas behind and
nature of corporatism in Fascist Italy and in Portugal under
Salazar and Caetano. The discussion of the varieties of corporatism
is clearly related to debates in the social sciences on its nature.
