Rising market power and its political discontents
How does market power affect the political behavior of small business owners? As the growing market power of large multinational firms has fundamentally changed the opportunity structure for small businesses and their beneficiaries, we try to understand how those economic developments influence European democracies. We argue that growing market power lowers small business owners’ trust in key democratic institutions and the functioning of markets…
The robots strike back? Industrial action, automation and the mediating role of institutions in Europe
How does industrial action influence automation? Literature claims that technology is used to disorganise workers. Employers are thought to introduce new automation technologies to disempower employees and frustrate strike action. However, there is mounting evidence that automation thrives in cooperative industrial relations. This article hypothesises that the connection between strike action and automation is conditioned by industrial relations …
Understanding Political Economy: Capitalism, Democracy and Inequality
This timely book provides a critical discussion of the leading concepts and theories in political economy. Bob Hancké, Toon Van Overbeke and Dustin Voss conduct a historical and thematic review of the evolution of political-economic thought, revolving around the relation between capitalism and democracy.
Conflict or cooperation? Exploring the relationship between cooperative institutions and robotisation
Robotization of production challenges the status‐quo in the economy, some win, while others lose out. Literature has argued that automation causes redistribution, both between capital and labour as within either category. We also know that many economies have chosen to adopt cooperative institutions to negotiate the negative by‐products of such economic changes. What is, however, less clear is how such institutions influence rates of automation t…
(De)regulating automation: The rise of credit scoring and market-led banking in the UK and Germany
Crisis and Complementarities: A Comparative Political Economy of Economic Policies after Covid-19
We examine economic policy responses to the COVID-19 induced economic collapse in Germany (a coordinated market economy) and the UK (a liberal market economy). The two countries responded to the symmetric economic shock with very similar furlough and business credit schemes to stabilize the demand and supply sides of the economy. However, since these policies fed into very different political-economic structures in both countries, they produced v…
High politics in the Low Countries: Covid‐19 and the politics of strained multi‐level policy cooperation in Belgium and the Netherlands
COVID-19 presented Europe with an, in many respects, unprecedented challenge. While the virus proved itself to be transnational in nature, not taking heed of borders, government responses were largely national. Still, governments soon found themselves engaged in complex multi-level policy cooperation at the national, subnational, and supranational levels. This paper looks at the crisis response in the Low Countries (Belgium and the Netherlands) t…
