Did employers abandon collective bargaining? A comparative analysis of the weakening of collective bargaining in the OECD
The paper takes up two questions. Do we observe, universally in the advanced capitalist world, the weakening of collective bargaining? Have employers everywhere and always tried to achieve this outcome and abandoned structures and policies that sustain collective bargaining? For answering the first question, the paper proposes three indicators—bargaining coverage, centralisation and control, measuring the incidence of collective agreements across…
Pour une plus large diffusion de la négociation collective: Le rôle de l'extension

Free movement, equal treatment and workers' rights: Can the European Union solve its trilemma of fundamental principles?
This article analyses the trilemma the EU is facing concerning three fundamental principles on which the Community rests: free movement of services and labour; non‐discrimination and equal treatment, and the rights of association and industrial action. With rising cross‐border flows of services and (posted) labour after the Eastward enlargement, the conflict between these rights has triggered industrial disputes and judicial strife. In the view o…
Wage Bargaining Institutions in Europe. A Happy Marriage or Preparing for Divorce?
The chapter restates Tarantelli’s approach to macroeconomic stabilisation and the role of wage bargaining institutions. It also discusses the patterns and variation in the institutional make-up of wage bargaining since 1980, documenting the evolution of the social pacts stipulated in Europe towards what Tarantelli called ‘decentralised corporatism’ and showing the institutional flexibility of collective agreements, as well as the stability of Tar…
Divergence in Part‐Time Work in New Zealand, the Netherlands and Denmark
A comparison of developments in part‐time work in New Zealand, the Netherlands and Denmark shows three very different trends. The Dutch are moving towards a ‘part‐time economy’, the decline in Danish part‐time employment confounds the common expectation of rising atypical employment, while the New Zealand case illustrates some of the negative employment outcomes often associated with part‐time employment and provides a contrast to the negotiated,…
The first part-time economy in the world: A model to be followed
Cet article a posé et a répondu à quatre questions. Quel a été la cause de la diffusion rapide du travail à temps partiel aux Pays-Bas ? Comment a été évitée la marginalisation des travailleurs à temps partiel ? Est ce que l'actuel modèle d'un revenu et demi par ménage constitue une phase transitionnelle vers un modèle à deux revenus; ? et finalement l'exemple hollandais sera-t-il suivi par d'autres Etat Providences européens ? Cet article cherch…

From Keynesianism to the Third Way: Labour Relations and Social Policy in Postwar Western Europe
This article attempts to highlight the interaction of developments in European social and employment policy-making with the changing conditions and patterns in national political economies, labour markets and labour relations. It argues that a shift is taking place from traditional social policy, aiming at equality of outcomes, to an activating employment policy, directed towards achieving equality of opportunity. This shift is analysed against t…

The Dutch model: An Obvious Candidate for the 'Third Way
The 'Dutch model' has become a catchphrase for progressive European politicians pondering the possibilities of a 'third way' between Anglo-American deregulation of labour markets and the bloated stagnation of European dirigiste economies. Foreign politicians, central bankers and union leaders alike praise the combination of fiscal conservatism, wage moderation, consensual welfare reform, job creation and the maintainance of overall social securit…

Der Wandel der Arbeitsbeziehungen im westeuropäischen Vergleich
Die durch den Nachkriegskonsens geprägten Arbeitsbeziehungen stehen heute vor globalen Herausforderungen und erfahren einen grundlegenden Wandel.

Diese sozialen Institutionen der Regulierung des Verhältnisses von Kapital und Arbeit sind zwar fest in den westeuropäischen Ges…
