研究了加拿大魁北克男装行业在全球化三个阶段中雇主如何协调集体谈判，发现尽管面临经济和组织压力，劳资双方仍努力维持制度稳定，但权力关系变化正导致雇主协调性质发生重要转变。
Abstract This article looks at the political economy of employer coordination of collective bargaining in the clothing or apparel manufacturing industry in C anada over three phases of globalisation: from the Multi‐Fiber Agreement in 1974 to the impact of the entry of C hina in the WTO . Although prevailing accounts emphasise the force of exogenous change and the likely decentralisation of bargaining structures and demise of bargaining coordination by employers, this case highlights how unions and employers sought to preserve their institutional model. We find that actor strategies and their interrelations are a central part of the explanation of this apparent institutional stability, despite the real force of economic, organisational and public policy factors. However, it is a dynamic stability in which change processes, reflecting shifting power relations, are leading to important shifts in the nature of employer coordination.
