Public Policies for Growth and Poverty Reduction

By Nicholas Stern. This article analyzes the conditions that brought political power positions in business by developing a model of corporate lobbying signal in a democratic capitalist society. Setting aside the traditional dichotomy of structural economic determinants of political action against the 'business', our model predicts the conditions under which political decision makers in choosing to modify their policy promises to accommodate the business of political choice. Our results indicate that the structural strength of business outside of public policy turns out depends on two variables: the size limitation of business reputation in relation to the cost of lobbying materials, and the ratio of policy-making reputation restriction on policy commitments and promises a campaign for election costs from adverse economic effects. The model is evaluated in the context of qualitative data from case studies of business lobbying for tax reform and regulation of financial services and the environment in England and Germany.

If politics is a matter of who gets what, when and where, then today there is little doubt that business interests may succeed in securing benefits from the government. In addition, holders of business is not sufficiently balanced in influencing public policy, increasing global integration of factor and goods markets may further advance the political power of business (Cerny, 1999). Enormous normative implications: if the public policy bias systematically with business interests, then political equality, democratic accountability and legitimacy of the political outcome will collapse (Dahl, 1989, hal.324-28; Green, 1985). However, there is little consensus in the literature about what is the source of political power of business.
