Journal Article
The Uncertain Development of the Concertation in East Central Europe
2004
Overview
The paper offers an explanation for variations in the effectiveness of trade unions to obtain legislative & policy concessions in peak-level tripartite negotiations in post-communist East Central Europe. It shows that standard interpretations for such variations focused on structural legacies, modes of transition, political cycles, & institutional differences -- cannot account for the problem at hand. Instead, I argue that the sources of these variations are to be attributed to distinct paths of state-labor relations, which are the product of continuous strategic interactions that crucially depend on power dynamics. To present a mechanism through which these paths evolve, the paper sketches a model of government-union interactions that combines institutional & behavioral variables. I propose a set of hypotheses regarding the conditions that determine initial choice of strategies & factors that influence continuation or modification of these strategies later on. By analyzing the cases of the Czech Republic, Hungary, & Poland, the paper further illustrates how these interactions shape tripartite institutions in such a way that they start reflecting accentuated power disparities between the contending actors, thereby limiting future choice sets for weaker actors. 46 References.
