Readjusting unemployment protection in Europe: How crises reshape varieties of labour market regimes
The labour movement has long fought for the social protection of unemployed workers as a major social right in capitalist economies across Europe. Employers, on the other hand, have often been reluctant to accept such intervention in the labour market. Hence, scholars explaining differences in the evolution of unemployment benefit systems need to consider the power distribution of labour relations, the context of the welfare state and the variety…

German Labour Market Resilience in Times of Crisis: Revealing Coordination Mechanisms in the Social Market Economy
Most observers point to the importance of short-time work (Kurzarbeit) as one of the key explanations for Germany's stellar employment performance during the economic downturn in 2008–09. In this paper, I reveal previously unidentified causal mechanisms that have led to the widespread application of Kurzarbeit: the Christian Democrats' embrace of the Social Market Economy, the formation of an 'informal' neo-corporatist alliance, the well-function…

Mit Neokorporatismus durch die Krise? Die Rolle des sozialen Dialogs in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz
Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Rolle der Sozialpartner bei der Bewältigung der Wirtschaftskrise 2008/09 in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweif Die Fallstudien zeigen, dass die schnelle Reaktion der Politik zu Beginn der Krise auf dem gemeinsamen Handeln von Arbeitgeberverbänden, Gewerkschaften und Regierungen beruhte. Eine zentrale Rolle kam dabei den Sozialpartnern jener Sektoren zu, die am stärksten von der Krise betroffen waren. In der Schw…
When Social Partners Unite – Explaining Continuity and Change in A ustrian and D utch Labour Market Governance
Why do A ustria and the N etherlands, two highly corporatist, coordinated, consensual countries diverge with respect to the involvement of social partners in their P ublic E mployment S ervice? By comparing and contrasting the competing predictions of the power‐resource, employer‐centred and social partnership approaches, we identify a key omitted variable that can explain the observed variations: the ability of the social partners to unite on re…
Playing Normative Legacies: Partisanship and Employment Policies in Crisis-Ridden Europe
Europe's affluent democracies adopted different policy strategies to buffer their labor markets from the effects of the worldwide recession that followed the financial crisis in 2007. This article offers a sociologically anchored historical institutionalist explanation to account for this divergence. Reviewing the politics of employment policymaking before, during, and after the crisis in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Denmark, the article trac…

Institutional Design and National Influence of EU Social Policy Coordination: Advancing a Contradictory Debate
Since the early 1990s, the European Union (EU) and its Member States have been committed to promoting social inclusion and to sustaining and modernizing Europe’s social protection systems. The recent global financial and sovereign debt crises have once again demonstrated — both positively and negatively — not only the critical importance of modern welfare states, but also the need for the EU to play an active role in coordinating and supporting n…
Tracing the Social OMC from Its Origins to Europe 2020
The European integration process has long been described as ‘asymmetrical’, prioritizing economic over social objectives (Scharpf 1996). Although it is certainly true that market-making ‘negative integration’ has made remarkable strides, the European integration process has always had a social dimension. Already the Messina Declaration signed in 1955 laid the foundation for the European Community to regulate various social issues (including, for …
Origin and Genesis of Activation Policies in ‘Old’ Europe: Towards a Balanced Approach?
Combating poverty and social exclusion remains an issue of highest concern to European Union (EU) policymakers also and especially in the context of the newly launched Europe 2020 Strategy. For the first time in EU history, a quantitative social goal has been set: lifting 20 million people out of poverty by 2020. While the goal is novel, the assessment of the underlying problems is not, and neither are the envisioned means: work is the best prote…

Social Partners and the Governance of Public Employment Services: Trends and Experiences from Western Europe
Changing Welfare States
Changing Welfare States is is a major new examination of the wave of social reform that has swept across Europe over the past two decades. In a comparative fashion, it analyses reform trajectories and political destinations in an era of rapid socioeconomic restructuring, including the critical impact of the global financial crisis on welfare state futures. The book argues that the overall scope of social reform across the member states of the Eur…
From the Manpower Revolution to the Activation Paradigm: Explaining Institutional Continuity and Change in an Integrating Europe
This book examines the origins and evolution of labor market policy in Western Europe, while paying close attention to the OECD and the European Union as proliferators of new ideas. Three phases are identified: (a) a manpower revolution phase during the 1960s and 1970s, when most European governments emulated Swedish manpower policies and introduced/modernized their public employment services; (b) a phase of international disagreement about the r…

Extra aandacht gaat daarbij uit naar de oeCD en de Europese Unie als voortrekkers van nieuwe ideeën op dit gebied. Timo Weishaupt deed onderzoek in Oostenrijk, Denemarken, Duitsland, Ierland, Zweden en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Hij komt tot de conclusie dat de evolutie van arbeidswetgeving niet alleen wordt bepaald door histori…

Germany after a Decade of Social Democrats in Government: The End of the Continental Model
In this paper, it is argued that Germany has undergone a series of large-scale institutional changes under 11 years of Social Democratic governance, weakening all of its core Continental principles and effectively triggering a process of regime hybridisation. Elements of these reforms include the recalibration of its labour market governance system, as well as a two-fold path-correction toward (a) a Nordic ideal type through the introduction of a…
Get your Act Together: Party Performance in European Parliament Elections
Research on elections to the European Parliament (EP) has consistently found that European elections are distinguished by a lack of European content. Such elections, in spite of the growing powers exercised by the EP, remain ‘second-order’. Clearly, however, EU-related issues have affected the performance of some political parties in EP elections, particularly in countries such as Sweden and Denmark. In our empirical analysis of the three most re…
