Corporate Power Challenging corporate domination and advancing democratic alternatives

Across the world, corporations are exercising unprecedented influence over politics, public institutions, digital infrastructures, natural resources, and everyday life. From shaping trade and tax rules to steering climate policy, digital governance, and public services, corporate actors increasingly set the terms of decision-making while democratic accountability is weakened.

TNI’s Corporate Power work investigates how concentrated economic power shapes global governance, deepens inequality, drives ecological destruction, and undermines democracy. Through critical research, political analysis, and collaboration with social movements and civil society organisations, we expose the structures that sustain corporate impunity and support struggles for democratic control, public accountability, and systemic transformation.
