Résumé documentaire — langue originale

This panel symposium examines democratic backsliding as a global management issue that reshapes how organizations govern, exercise power, and engage politically. Across regions and regime types, democratic institutions, public spheres, and accountability structures are being gradually weakened through legal erosion, executive aggrandizement, and the normalization of illiberal governance. These dynamics increasingly unfold within established democracies, challenging the assumption of democracy as a stable background condition for business. The panel advances a central claim: democracy is not only an institutional environment for organizations, but an organizationally mediated political order. Firms and platforms actively translate democratic erosion into everyday practices through governance structures, business models, authority relations, and corporate political strategies. Democratic backsliding thus becomes operational in routine managerial decision-making, where choices about governance, compliance, digital infrastructures, and corporate voice carry cumulative consequences for democratic capacities, public accountability, and the legitimacy of business power. Integrating perspectives from strategy, organization theory, and business ethics, the panel brings together complementary contributions on corporate political activity, organizational fragmentation, digital platforms, business authority, grand challenges, and the normative limits of corporate involvement in democratic governance. The discussion addresses when corporate engagement stabilizes rather than distorts democratic capacities, how organizational structures and power asymmetries shape responsibility under democratic strain, and where the boundaries of legitimate business involvement in democratic processes lie.
