Employer occupation of regulatory space of the Employee Information and Consultation (I&C) Directive in liberal market economies
研究了雇主和国家如何影响欧盟员工信息与协商指令的宏观制定与转化过程，揭示雇主通过占据监管空间强化自愿主义，边缘化工人决策权，并提出了评估监管空间占据的分析框架。
This article shows how both employers and the state have influenced macro-level processes and structures concerning the content and transposition of the European Union (EU) Employee Information and Consultation (I&C) Directive. It argues that the processes of regulation occupied by employers reinforce a voluntarism which marginalizes rather than shares decision-making power with workers. The contribution advances the conceptual lens of ‘regulatory space’ by building on Lukes’ multiple faces of power to better understand how employment regulation is determined across transnational, national and enterprise levels. The research proposes an integrated analytical framework on which ‘occupancy’ of regulatory space can be evaluated in comparative national contexts.
