Description
"Is globalization changing the way industries are governed? If so, how and why does this tend to differ so strongly from industry to industry and by country? To answer these questions, this book develops a single approach - The Politics of Industry - drawn from cutting-edge economics and political sociology. This framework is then put to the test in case studies of six contemporary industries: automobile distribution, wine, pharmaceuticals, defence, fisheries and foie gras. Throughout, its authors argue that the 'political work' carried out by private, collective and public actors is the principal cause of each translation of globalization. By systematically unpacking this political work, the book enriches understandings of politics in general and of globalization in particular, generates new knowledge about specific industries and provides practitioners with tools for comprehending and orienting change during their daily economic and political activity."--Jacket.
