Sabine Pitteloud is assistant professor of Contemporary History at UniDistance Suisse. Her research delves into the political history of capitalism, with a specific focus on the political role of multinational companies and their impact on regulation, both in Switzerland and on the international stage. Her current research programme scrutinises the efforts of European business associations in shaping environmental governance after 1945. The central aim of this project is to shed light on the responses of polluting industries to environmental demands and regulations, discerning how these efforts were coordinated at the political level. Additionally, the research entails an exploration of the connections forged by business associations with the newly established environment ministries in the 1970s.
