Varieties of Capitalism and Job Quality
This article explores how institutional differences matter to the quality of a nation's jobs; job quality is conceived as a dimension of a national economy's social performance and thus defined in accordance with civic principles. Focus is on the two archetypical varieties of capitalism, the United States and Germany. Using data from a 2009 telephone survey of U.S. and German workers, we find that the overall attainment of civic principles, as pe…
Cross‐National Variation in Representation Rights and Governance at Work
This article focuses on the differences between the United States and Germany. These two nations are viewed as representative of distinctive varieties of capitalism, and they have very different representation rights and institutional norms accounting for these varieties. The contribution of this article is to address the reasons for this variation and why it persists in view of such pressures. It begins by briefly describing cross-national diffe…
The Discourse of Industrial Democracy
To better understand cross-country variations of institutions and practices of industrial democracy, such as between Germany and the US, this article highlights a frequently neglected explanatory factor, the national-specific discourses of democracy at work. These discourses are shaped by alternative political philosophies of the 19th century on the relationship between state, society and economy. In particular, how the role of the firm in societ…
Varieties of Unionism
As unions face an ongoing crisis all over the industrialized world, they have often been portrayed as outmoded remnants of an old economic structure. 'Varieties of Unionism' presents important comparative research and analysis of union strategy and shows why revitalization is of fundamental importance.
Union Revitalization Strategies in Comparative Perspective
This introductory article provides a preliminary explanation of the cross-national similarities and differences of union revitalization strategies discussed in this special issue. Differences in the institutional context of industrial relations as well as state policies and employer strategies explain some major differences in how national unions are responding to the current socio-economic challenges. However, our findings reveal that union resp…
The Illusion of Union-management Cooperation in Postcommunist Central Eastern Europe
Post-Communist Workplace Relations in Hungary
A decade after the fall of communism scholars widely agree that the transformation process of democratisation and marketisation in central eastern Europe (CEE) has left unions (new and independent and successors to the official communist unions alike) with little power to influence political and economic decision-making (Ost 1997; Thirkell et al. 1998). Typical explanations invoke economic factors such as privatisation, the restructuring of the e…
