Renegotiating the Welfare State
Why have some countries have been more successful in welfare state reform than others? This book examines the experiences of various countries in reforming their welfare states through renegotiations between the state and peak associations of employers and employees. This corporatist concertation has been blamed for bringing about all the ills of the welfare state, but lately corporate institutions have learned from their bad performances, modifi…
Verhandlungsdemokratie
Consociational Democracy, Class Conflict, and the New Corporatism
“Consociational democracy” or “ Konkordanzdemokratie ” has been described as the response of political elites in certain countries to the challenge of strong sub-cultural segmentation (chapter 1, above; also Iijphart 1968 and the articles compiled in McRae, 1974). Conflict within “fragmented political cultures” is settled by bargaining among the top leadership of rival groups. “Consociational” strategies, however, may not only serve to manage con…
Concertation and the Structure of Corporatist Networks
The political structure of a number of advanced capitalist economies, according to widely held — but often vague — hypotheses, is characterized by the emergence of "corporatism" or "neo-corporatism". Speculation that there might here be evidence of a secular trend, reflecting functional prerequisites of advanced capitalism, was for a time influential. However, there would probably now be wide agreement that the phenomena described under the label…
Liberal Corporatism and Party Government
The progress of corporatist ideas since the late nineteenth century and the advent of authoritarian "corporatist" regimes in the twentieth century have been strongly fostered by critiques of parliamentary and party government. To be sure, corporatist doctrines have not been unanimous in their assessment of universal suffrage, parliament, and competitive party systems. While on the one hand authors such as Spann (1934) proposed to abolish parliame…

Institutionelle Schranken einer ausgehandelten Reform des Wohlfahrtsstaates
Die Diskussion über eine Reform des deutschen Wohlfahrtsstaates hat in den 90er Jahren eine neue Richtung eingeschlagen. Als die von Helmut Kohl geführte konservativ-liberale Koalition 1982 ins Amt kam, orientierten sich ihre programmatischen Aussagen weitgehend an der neokonservativen Rhetorik des britischen „Thatcherismus“ und der amerikanischen „Reaganomics“. Die damals von der neuen Mehrheit proklamierte politische „Wende“ ließ indessen auf s…
Institutional Change in the East German Transformation Process
German social scientists have often stressed that the East German transformation was a process sui generis that differed strongly from the transformation paths of eastern European countries. This difference was of course mainly due to the integration of the former GDR into the Federal Republic of (West) Germany. Indeed, it is commonly assumed that the wholesale transfer of West German institutions left little room for the endogenous paths of tran…

Die korporative Verhandlungsdemokratie in Westmitteleuropa
Die Diskussion über Konkordanzdemokratie und Korporatismus hat die Aufmerksamkeit darauf gelenkt, dass sich staatliche Steuerung in den Ländern Westmitteleuropas (Schweiz, Österreich, Deutschland, Belgien und Niederlande) in beträchtlichem Masse auf Verhandlungslösungen mit und zwischen korporativ verfassten Gruppen rekurriert. Solche “verhandlungsdemokratischen” Strategierepertoires, in die heute staatliche Bürokratien, organisierte Interessen, …
Sektorale Variationen in der Transformationsdynamik der politischen Ökonomie Ostdeutschlands
In der öffentlichen Meinung der alten Bundesrepublik läßt sich seit geraumer Zeit beobachten, daß die zunächst so kontroversen strategischen Entscheidungen der Anfangsphase des Vereinigungsprozesses als nicht mehr besonders diskussionswürdig gelten. Da sich die Geschichte nicht zurückdrehen läßt, erscheint es nicht länger des Nachdenkens wert, was womöglich anders hätte gemacht werden können. Zudem eignet sich die Retrospektive im vorliegenden Fa…
The process of regime change in East Germany
When in 1990 German political decision‐makers were confronted with the unexpected opportunity of re‐unification, they based their strategy on the assumption that successful transformation depended essentially on engineered political change transferring the basic institutions of a market economy and liberal democracy. As their advisers told them, these were a stable monetary system not subject to political intervention, the allocation of scarce re…
Consociational Democracy and Corporatism in Switzerland
The Swiss concept of Konkordanzdemokratie (consociational democracy) is examined in this article. The author traces the development of this practice from its earliest origins to its current manifestation, focusing especially on the role that religion and linguistic differences have played. The influence of the emerging “political market” is also examined as is the disappearance of traditional political cleavages. The article concludes with the au…

Consociational Democracy in the International System
The theory of consociational democracy has emphasized the internal conditions under which elites in “segmented pluralist” countries may choose such a strategy. This article suggests a distinction between genetic and sustaining conditions of this type of conflict management and, with the aid of this distinction, seeks to analyze the complex relationships between the internal structure of consociational democracies and their position in the interna…
Party and Federation in Germany
CONTEMPORARY WEST GERMAN FEDERALISM IS FACING A DILEMMA generated by the transformation of the party system after the second world war. Since the late nineteenth century highly complex political and administrative structures have developed in Germany and for most of the time federalism has been one of their important elements. Because of their complexity effective policy-making depended largely upon strategies of accommodation, bargaining and rep…
Interest Intermediation in Capitalist and Socialist Systems
Because most studies of interest intermediation have not been undertaken comparatively, it is desirable to apply to the study of East European socialist systems a functionalist comparative taxonomy, notably by applying the concept of subsystem autonomy. It is argued that limited subsystem autonomy may increase the problem-solving capabilities of political systems, while high subsystem autonomy may have dysfunctional consequences. Combining a func…

The ambiguous coalition in West Germany
ON I DECEMBER 1966 THE BUNDESTAG ELECTED THE CHRISTIAN democrat leader Kurt Georg Kiesinger as head of a government formed by Christian democrats (CDU) and social democrats (SPD), by a majority of 340 (out of 496) members. The liberals (FDP), with 49 members, were pushed aside into opposition. For the first time since 1930 the social democrats entered a German central government, not as the result of an electoral victory but at the conclusion of …
Institutional Linkages and Policy Networks in the Federal System of West Germany
West German federalism can be understood as a system of interlocking, but distinct and autonomous, “policy networks.” Sectoral policy networks are integrated into overarching networks. The traditional pluri-centrism of state and societal institutions is contrasted with an integrated (but not centralized) economic policy network oriented toward national homogeneity. With the decline of Keynesian macroeconomic policy, however, regional policy netwo…

Institutionelle Bedingungen ordnungspolitischen Strategiewechsels im internationalen Vergleich
Seit dem Ende der 70er Jahre sind in verschiedenen westlichen Ländern Regierungen unter sozialdemokratischer Führung (oder mit starker sozialdemokratischer Beteiligung) durch solche mit „neokonservativer“ Programmatik abgelöst worden.1 Mit diesem Terminus bezeichnen wir hier Parteien, die mit der erklärten Absicht angetreten sind, das Verhältnis von Politik und Ökonomie, wie es sich in den westlichen „Wohlfahrtsstaaten“ insbesondere nach dem Zwei…

Wirtschaftspolitischer Strategiewechsel und die institutionelle Verknüpfung von Staat und Gesellschaft
Als im Jahre 1982 die sozialliberale Koalition mit dem Sturz von Helmut Schmid und der Wahl von Helmut Kohl zu Ende ging, wurde das von den treibenden Akteuren nicht nur als ein beliebiger Regierungswechsel verstanden. Es sollte sich auch um einen einschneidenden Strategiewechsel handeln. Insbesondere mußte man einen entschiedenen Wechsel der wirtschaftspolitischen Strategie erwarten. Das legte nicht zuletzt die Regierungserklärung des neugewählt…

Parteienwettbewerb, Sozialstaatspostulat und gesellschaftlicher Wertewandel
Wie offen ist der deutsche Parteien- und Sozialstaat für neue Bedürfnisse seiner Bürger? In der Politikwissenschaft stößt diese Frage oft auf Skepsis. Viele halten die Mechanismen des Parteienwettbewerbs für ungeeignet, auf gesellschaftlichen Wandel schnell und angemessen zu reagieren1. Die Institutionen der politischen Willensbildung erscheinen verkrustet und dabei weitgehend undurchlässig für neue Werte und lebensweltliche, insbesondere ökologi…
