Under Pressure? The Labour Market Policy of the Grand Coalition 2018–2021
This article examines the labour market policy of the Grand Coalition from 2018 to 2021, comparing the explanatory power of partisan theory with the functionalist theory in the analysis of labour market policies. In addition, the article differentiates between the policies before and after the outbreak of the Corona pandemic. It does this in order to trace the change in the theories' explanatory power under crisis conditions. The analysis of labo…
There is power in a union? Union members' preferences and the conditional effect of labour unions on left parties in different welfare state programmes
This article studies the effect of labour unions on policy‐making in six different parts of the welfare state (passive and active labour market policy, employment protection, old‐age pensions, health care and education) in OECD countries after 1980 with a two‐level strategy: At the micro‐level, we investigate union members’ preferences. Ordered logit regression analyses indicate that union members favour generous social policies more strongly tha…
The partisan politics of employment protection legislation: Social democrats, Christian democrats, and the conditioning effect of unemployment
Political parties are likely to hold differing views about employment protection legislation (EPL). While pro-welfare parties could support EPL, pro-market parties might focus on labour market deregulation. In this paper, we investigate empirically whether partisan politics, especially the government participation of Social democrats and Christian democrats, matter for EPL in 21 established OECD countries from 1985 to 2019. We show that during th…
Quiet Politics of Employment Protection Legislation? Partisan Politics, Electoral Competition, and the Regulatory Welfare State
Political parties and party competition have been important factors in the expansion and retrenchment of the fiscal welfare state, but researchers have argued that regulatory welfare is not part of political debate among parties. We explore this claim theoretically, and then empirically examine it in the case of employment protection legislation (EPL) in twenty-one established democracies since 1985. EPL is a mature and potentially salient instru…
Get the Party Started: The Social Policy of the Grand Coalition 2013–2017
This article analyses social policy during the third grand coalition (in power from 2013 until 2017). Generous and expansionary reforms were implemented during the 18th legislative period. The implementation of these reforms was facilitated by favourable socio-economic and political circumstances, such as low unemployment rates, strong social support for welfare state enlargement and weak opposition parties without a liberal corrective. Through v…
