This note describes the options available to governments for establishing high-level institutional structures that can be used to improve the performance of their institutional framework for foreign investment promotion. The note discusses the context in which each of the options presented may be the best response to a specific problem or need. The note analyses the features, conditions, and strengths of five high-level institutional structures that can help improve the performance of the institutional framework for investment promotion: Investor Roundtables, Investment Councils, Ministerial Committees, IPA Boards, and Expert Commissions. The note summarizes the ability of each institution type to improve institutional coordination, enhance performance, provide insight, and deliver in-depth knowledge, and it describes the features of each. The note concludes that high-level institutional structures can address the underperformance of the institutional framework for foreign investment promotion when the cause has been duly identified, the strengths of the selected high-level structure match the cause of the problem, the setup follows international good practice, and the selection is based on consultations with private sector and effective interdepartmental coordination. Finally, the note acknowledges that the research on high-level structures is at an early stage and encourages further research of the topic.

While the media frequently warns of the newfound power of business in the world of politics, the authors in this book demonstrate that business has mobilized to shape public policy and government institutions, as well as electoral outcomes, for decades.

What are the political motivations behind firms' decisions to adopt policies that self-regulate their behavior in a manner that is beyond compliance with state, federal and local law? Public Forces and Private Politics in American Big Business advances a new understanding of the firm as a political actor that expands beyond the limited conceptualizations offered by economists and organization theorists. Timothy Werner develops a general theory of private politics that is tested using three case studies: the environment, gay rights and executive compensation. Using the conclusions of these case studies and an analysis of interviews with executives at 'Fortune 500' firms, Werner finds that politics can contribute significantly to our understanding of corporate decision-making on private policies and corporate social responsibility in the United States.

"Modern Britain is still living with the legacy of Margaret Thatcher's widespread policy of privatisation. How did this dramatic change in company structure effect modern British society? What are the implications for today's volatile economic situation? And what role did the champions of British industry play in forming the shareholder state? Francis (Lord) Tombs, at once one of Britain's major industrialists and public servants of the late 20th century, explores how this shift occurred and chronicles the interaction between industry and politics over nearly half a century. This fast-paced account of top-tier business offers a penetrating exploration of the role of central government in business as well as many insights into big industry and the problems facing British business today. "Power Politics" reveals an absorbing vision of British Industry at a crucial period which shaped this country's social and political history. As a story of individual development and action as well as a portrait of the British industrial landscape in the late 20th century, this is an invaluable contribution to Economic History."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
