Peter Fleming’s research focuses on the political economy of corporations and the relations of power that underlie them. One line of investigation explores the way in which conflict and resistance constitutes the formal corporate form currently dominating western economies. Another area of interest is the cultural politics of work organizations, and the modes of ideological control that operate to enlist the participation of labour. He also researches corporate corruption and the social dynamics that characterise it. He has published the following books:
