Challenges and Opportunities for Business Associations: Autonomy and Trust

Rudolf Beger

Chapter 7 in The Effectiveness of EU Business Associations, 2002, pp 79-84 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The structure and philosophy of European business associations is widely characterised by corporatism. As a result of this, generally, representatives of business associations do not represent their individual political will but act as members of associations who are fully integrated in and strictly bound and controlled by arrangements. These arrangements, which constitute the foundation and rationale of such associations, include, amongst others, the dominance of the association members’ political will over the (political) expertise of associations.
