Society's concern over the negative impact of business activities
on the natural environment has significantly increased in recent
years and, as a result, environmental regulations have grown
considerably both in number and scope. As these affect businesses
and their competitive environment, firms are interested in shaping
the nature of such legislation through corporate political
activities (CPAs, also called interest representation and
lobbying). This book investigates the CPAs of multinational
enterprises (MNEs) in the automotive industry that are directed
towards environmental regulations in the EU, which is a leading
actor in this policy area. Using the resource-based view as its
theoretical framework, it investigates six research questions that
address the characteristics, determinants and consequences of these
CPAs in relation to three regulatory areas (pollutant emissions,
CO2 emissions and end-of-life vehicles). Case study analysis is
based on 71 interviews with stakeholders from the automotive
industry (the entire population of global carmakers that are
politically active in Brussels) as well as from related industries,
EU institutions and civil society organisations.
