    Cambridge Series on Business and Public Policy

    Cambridge University Press has recently launched a new book series, Business
    and Public Policy, which seeks to play a pioneering role in shaping the
    emerging field of business and public policy. This Series focuses on two
    central questions. First, how does public policy influence business strategy,
    operations, organization, and governance, and with what consequences for both
    business and society? Second, how do businesses themselves influence policy
    institutions, policy processes, and other policy actors and with what outcomes?

    In recent years the notion of public policy has become more expansive. The
    policy environments which businesses negotiate might be supplied by
    governmental as well as nongovernmental actors. Across issue areas,
    nongovernmental actors have established institutions that shape market
    opportunities as well as introduce a new kind of (private) regulatory context
    that businesses are obliged to consider. Whether they cohere with or undermine
    government-supplied institutional context, businesses need to responsive to
    both types of policy environments.

    We welcome manuscripts whose scope might be national, comparative, or
    international. These submissions might focus on a given issue area or compare
    across issue areas. Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the field, we are
    particularly interested in books which appeal to multiple audiences located in
    social science departments, business schools, public policy schools, and law
    schools.
