Abstract
The management of political–economic interdependence is rather neglected in political theory as well as in political research. We propose a tentative framework of analysis concentrating on the processes of interaction between ‘politics’ and ‘economics’. Three levels of interaction are introduced and discussed in relation to current literature and to the contributions to this ‘special issue’. In particular, attention is paid to the potential role of political and non‐political factors, the extent to which interest‐aggregation and modes of conflict‐regulation are important, and to the salient feature of the degree of correspondence between public policy–formation and its consequences in terms of economic performance.
