Judging by their presence and influence in the national capitals and Brussels, business and employer associations appear to be the most organized and resourceful social actors in the new EU member states. Still, there are considerable cross-national differences to the extent business community is organized in the former communists societies. This talk explores causes of differential success in overcoming the problem of collective action faced by the organizing business community. Among other factors affecting business participation in employer and trade associations, administrative corruption emerges as the most unexpected and counterintuitive stimulus for organization.
