Wednesday Research Series with Professor Gatti – Mar 11

Corporate Power and the Politics of Change

Speaker: Professor Matteo Gatti (Rutgers Law School)

Format: In-person

About this session:

In Corporate Power and the Politics of Change, Matteo Gatti examines the rise of “corporate governing,” where corporations take on roles traditionally held by governments—advocating on contested social issues and stepping in to provide public services amid political dysfunction. Drawing on legal doctrine and social-science insights, the book analyzes the drivers and backlash to this shift and offers a framework for understanding how corporate power is reshaping policymaking and what that means for business and democracy.
