Contestants, Profiteers, and the Political Dynamics of Marketization: How Shareholders gained Control Rights in Britain, Germany, and France

Since the early 1980s, governments worldwide have taken many measures to expand the role of markets. Recent political events reflect widespread disenchantment with neoliberal policies, but it remains doubtful whether populist leaders will deliver the market restraints that many of their voters expect. This book explains the resilience of marketization processes by highlighting the role of profiteers- namely those who, like the organizer of a cock fight, benefit from contests regardless of who wins. By setting up shop on the sidelines, profiteers accumulate resources that boost political efforts to maintain and expand the arena of competition. Evidence comes from the evolution of support for shareholder rights relating to takeover bids among key interest groups and political parties in three countries since the late nineteenth century.

Recenzii

Regulating the markets in which struggles over corporate control take place is deeply political, but in ways that defy political tramlines. Helen Callaghan here carefully and revealingly unpicks the complex alliances and conflicts of interest that have determined changes on this issue. In so doing she also throws important new light on general debates about the nature of markets, varieties of capitalism, and processes of policy change.
Based on her penetrating case studies, Callaghan constructs an elegant argument that processes of marketization, no matter how they proceed in different settings, take on a self-reinforcing momentum that makes them all but unstoppable, no matter how mixed the consequences may be.
Callaghan provides a hugely informative, interesting and important study of marketization politics and processes. A must read for everyone working in comparative political economynot only on the corporate governance examples here, but more generally on political responses to the economic dislocations of recent decades. Excellent book!
