- Abstract
Political sociologists have long been analyzing political donation data of businesses to evaluate the extent to which corporate power intervenes in political processes. In this paper, the campaign contribution data of business groups in the 2008 legislator election is collected and examined with three major theoretical viewpoints: the material interest, class hegemony, and the inner circle theories. Empirical evidence shows that business groups that are larger in size, of family-owned, and feature controlling families with higher in social status are more likely to contribute to legislator candidates. Moreover, business groups operating in the information technology industry are less likely to contribute. These results indicate that large domestic-oriented and family-owned business groups are the key donors to political campaigns, wich reflects the unique political-economic nature of contemporary Taiwan.
