The Economics Unit of ATINER, will hold a Stream on “Business-Government Relations” as part of the 13thAnnual International Symposium on Economic Theory, Policy and Applications, 2–5 July 2018, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Business & Economics.
Business-government relations is among core topics in both economics and political science. It relates two of the most important social institutions in contemporary society, private companies and governments. Ranging from topics such as corruption and lobby to specials interests and government intervention (subsidies, merger control, corporate social responsibility, and so on), the question of, on one hand, how businesses should relate in a legal and even moral way with public institutions in order to purse legitimate interests and, on the other hand, how government should pursue at its turn public policy objectives in partnerships with private companies are critical in the contemporary democracy. Governments that ignore private interests as well as private decision-makers that attempt to manipulate the public-policy process are prone to failure. In a world with increase political risk and economic volatility, the understanding of the relations between businesses and governments are critical not for only the success of public policies and private interests but also for society at large. You may participate as presenter of one paper, chair or/and organiser of a session, or observer.
