Abstract

The Organization of Business Interests (OBI) project, coordinated by Wolfgang Streeck and Philippe Schmitter, was the largest comparative project ever undertaken on business interest associations. It encompassed a range of countries in Europe and North America — Austria, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. There was an associated group of researchers in the United States. Attempts to find participants from France were unsuccessful. Although the present data were collected over 20 years ago, many of the basic features of business associations identified at the beginning of the 1980s remain in place. Moreover, the theoretical perspectives developed in the project continue to be relevant to the study of business associability.
