 xrefer - Corporatism
Sociologists disagree whether corporatism represents an attempt by the state to incorporate and pacify militant trade unionism at the cost of employees' interests, or whether it marks the successful use of workers' power to constrain business and the state.
Where corporatism survived through the 1980s, employees' interests were in fact better protected than where market forces were allowed to dominate economic life, with lower rates of both unemployment and inflation.
Sociologists have suggested that politicians allowed corporate bodies to influence state decisions in return for these bodies controlling their members: corporations delivered the support of their members in return for an influence over political decision-making.

 43rd Annual International Studies Association Convention
Corporatism requires a highly interventionist state that is able to tax, spend, subsidize, protect, provide, sustain a significant welfare state and achieve the goals of pursuing a national economic, social and political interest.
To accomplish this task, it is already assumed that the state is committed to the idea of a national economy and a national interest and the incorporated units therefore expect and require the state to be able to identify and manage both.
However, corporatism may not normally evolve in such a fluidic fashion since interests do not freely compete and new interests are not guaranteed the equality of opportunity to participate until earning state recognition.

The main characteristics might be similar to the national case (Traxler 1995c): A common normative ground of all involved parties with a view to increasing competitiveness; achieving economic growth and an open market economy; and policy options which favour neo-liberal strategies instead of the Keynesian ones which characterised the heyday of macro-corporatism.
There are thus good reasons for perceiving of corporatism as a governance modus rather than as a type of policy.
For West-European states, the progress in economic integration since the mid-1980s was expected to further the decline of national corporatism.

 Joseph R. Stromberg: The Political Economy of Liberal Corporativism
Since "governments come to derive their power from those already well-established interests," they are used to restrict innovation and limit competition by the more efficient, the result that the economy "lapses into stagnation for the benefit of people who have already become powerful."
In other words, the monopoly structure of the economy by preventing innovation also limits the amount of money that can be invested profitably at home.

 Harmon Zeigler: Pluralism, Corporatism, and Confucianism - Print
While "Confucian" countries may vary substantially in their mode of conflict resolution, they usually adhere to the basic ethical principles of Confucius: groups are more important than individuals, and society should be organized hierarchically.
While it is generally accepted that the form of government is not the major contributor to the shape or content of policy, Zeigler suggests that there are substantial differences between individualist and collectivist societies.
The first book to compare such disparate cultures, Pluralism, Corporatism, and Confucianism examines the motivations for group membership and the functions of "encompassing" organizations.

 How to Save the World
In fact, the founders of most democratic countries, and their brightest leaders since then, have repeatedly warned that, because corporations are inherently (and deliberately) undemocratic, citizens and governments must exercise continuing vigilance to prevent corporations from usurping the power and authority of the people and democratic governments and institutions.
Many countries restrict the ability of corporations to influence government by limiting or prohibiting corporations from donating to campaigns.
