In an era of systemic crisis and of global critiques of the
unsustainable perpetuation of capitalism, Pervasive Powers: The
Politics of Corporate Authority critically questions the conditions
for the maintenance and expansion of corporate power. The book
explores empirical case studies in the realms of finance, urban
policies, automobile safety, environmental risk, agriculture, and
food in western democracies. It renews understanding of the power
of big business, focusing on how the study of temporalities, of
multi-sited influence and of sociotechnical tools is crucial to an
analysis of the evolution of corporate authority. Drawing on
different literatures, ranging from research on business
associations and global governance to that on the social production
of ignorance or on corporate crime, this book aims at contributing
to existing works on the capacity of corporations to rule the
world. Unlike approaches focused on economic elites and on the
political activities of firms, it goes beyond analysis of the power
of corporations to influence policy-making to depict their
unprecedented capacity to transform and shape the social world.
Operating in numerous social spaces and mobilizing a wide range of
strategies, corporate organizations have acquired the pervasive
power to act far beyond mere spaces of regulation and government.
Based on contributions from historians, science and technology
studies scholars, sociologists and political scientists, this book
will be of great interest to researchers, academics and students
who wish to understand how corporations exert a pervasive influence
on public policies, and to NGOs and regulatory agencies.
