Democratising the Corporation

Isabel Ferreras' Democratising the Corporation treats firms not merely as economic units but as political entities whose governance shapes democratic life.

The book examines institutional reforms and practices that could extend democratic principles — voice and ownership — into corporate governance, including worker representation and cooperative forms.

Ferreras engages with comparative cases and theoretical frameworks to propose how labor and democratic institutions can reshape corporate decision-making.

She explores the implications of such reforms for social equality, economic performance, and broader democratic health.

The work situates corporate democratization as central to renewing social democracy and addressing contemporary economic and environmental crises.
