GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS
This title takes an international and comparative approach to the crucial relationship between business and government, drawing on studies of developing countries, advanced capitalist economies and the relationship between business and imperialism.

The second part looks at the interaction between government and the individual enterprise, considering both the impact of government on corporate strategies, on patterns of competition and the interaction of business and national politics in such contexts as depression, war, fascism and decolonization.
