The project aims to explain how business influences democracy. While business and democracy are mutually reinforcing domains in any healthy and vibrant society, there are concerns about the way corporations may unduly influence or even curtail democratic processes. This project expects to generate new knowledge on how industry translates economic power into political influence. This includes the development of a new theory of power and a methodology for examining political connections. This should provide significant benefits to public dialogue and policymakers concerning the task of strengthening citizen voice and decision-making in Australia and globally.

该项目旨在解释企业如何影响民主。虽然在任何健康和充满活力的社会中，商业和民主都是相辅相成的领域，但人们担心公司可能会不适当地影响甚至限制民主进程。该项目预计将产生关于工业如何将经济实力转化为政治影响力的新知识。这包括发展一种新的权力理论和审查政治联系的方法。这将为公众对话和政策制定者在澳大利亚和全球加强公民声音和决策的任务方面带来重大好处。
