New Agendas for Auto Research: Financialisation, Motoring and Present Day Capitalism
Keyword(s):
This review article introduces a journal special issue on new agendas for auto research. It argues that old 1990s research agenda about factories, process and product has been rendered obsolete by developments in present day capitalism. The new research agendas for the 2000s are about financial issues: first, the nature and extent of capital market pressure on the assemblers for higher profits; second, multiple conflicts and cost passing behaviour involving government and consumers as much as corporate players. This review article surveys recent literature on these themes and explains how the articles in this special issue make distinctive contributions to our empirical understanding and conceptualisation of these developments.
