Actor interests and cohesion in the competition policy network of the 1970s

One of the key dimensions of the policy network is the cohesion of actor interests, as discussed in Chapter 1. The aim of this chapter is therefore to assess the degree of cohesion of actor interests in the competition policy network at the time of the 1970s reforms. This assessment may help answer the question of why the final policy output failed to reflect the position of business leaders.
