| Abstract: | This paper argues that efficiency-oriented approaches to corporate governance and law are limited in their ability to explain the politics of corporate control and, in particular, the rise of shareholder activism. Politics, like other social action, is embedded in social structures that influence whether, when, and how collective action is accomplished by interest groups. The authors use a social movement framework to explain the changing capacities of shareholders and managers - as members of classes - to act on their interests in control at the firm, state, and federal level. |
