Business as political actor – evolving practice, emerging norms and shifting expectations for a pivotal determinant of public trust in both business and democracy (BIZPOL)

Project description

Re-establishing trust in policymaking

Business is playing an increasing role as a political actor, addressing major issues such as climate change and corruption. Still, there is a growing perception that corporate interests have an undue influence on policy making. As a result, a trust deficit looms, impacting democracies and market economies. The EU-funded BIZPOL project uses a mix of innovative and multi-disciplinary approaches to substantially advance scholarly thinking. Most importantly, it strives to advance corporate political activity, which needs to be safeguarded as companies increasingly engage with governments and policymakers.
