Europe Inc.

The authors cover the major players in these anti-democratic practices and analyse the structural and political factors which have enabled corporate political power to dominate.

In their analysis of the EU's current neoliberal economic strategies -which involve promoting deregulation and privatisation in virtually all areas and subordinating every policy field to the objective of international competitiveness - the authors focus on the activities of corporate lobby groups and corporate state alliances. These include bodies such as the European Roundtable of Industrialists (ERT), the Transatlantic Business Dialogue (TABD), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and the Association for Monetary Union of Europe (AMUE).

The featured case studies examine corporate influence on transport, biotechnology, climate change policies, as well as key economic globalisation projects such as the Transatlantic Economic Partnership and the Multilateral Agreement on Investment.
