Abstract
The significance of the economic environment for the emergence and persistence of ‘corporatist’ political relations has long been a matter of some uncertainty. In the early post-war decades, many proponents of such arrangements viewed them as an element in a virtuous circle of union ‘moderation’; high productivity, profitability and investment; and rapid economic growth. Within such a perspective, ‘social partnership’ could provide workers and their unions with the benefits of long-term improvements in real incomes and perhaps employment security as a reward for restraint in the exploitation of short-term bargaining advantages.
Originally delivered at a conference at the Institut für Sozialforschung, Frankfurt, December 1985.
