The Luxembourg model of social concertation seems especially suitable for a small country given the close links between the various social partners. The establishment of a formal Tripartite system in 1977 promised solutions for the deepening economic crisis, particularly affecting Luxembourg's important steel industry. In practice, Tripartism showed defects ‐ protecting vested interests, unequal burden sharing ‐ and it failed to develop an overall strategy to serve the national interest. The fear that the authority of Parliament was being eroded and a shift to the right in government proved decisive in reducing Tripartism to a subordinate and advisory role
