Series: Interest Groups, Advocacy and Democracy Series

This book examines the strategies employed by business interest groups in response to the challenges posed by the global financial crisis of 2008-9. Drawing on evidence from Switzerland, it assesses three policy areas – financial regulation, tax policy and corporate governance – to illustrate the long-term dynamics of advocacy strategies, and the ways in which these groups navigated the complexities of the post-crisis landscape by adapting their coalitions. The book demonstrates that business interest groups employed both direct and indirect advocacy strategies to navigate the crisis, highlighting the importance of perceived legitimacy for these groups. It will appeal to all those interested in policy-making, interest groups, political science and financial regulation.
