Economic crisis, austerity and trade union responses: The Irish case in comparative perspective
研究了爱尔兰工会对经济危机的回应，发现其主要表现为妥协与合作，而非大规模动员，并从挑战性质、意识形态遗产、组织能力和机会结构等方面解释了爱尔兰与其他受援国的差异。
This article examines trade union responses to the economic crisis in Ireland. The ‘Irish story’ is primarily one of union accommodation and cooperation. Conflict was present, but was sporadic and generally sectional in nature, and did not reach the scale of mass mobilization witnessed in the other European countries that received financial aid from the Troika. Why was Ireland different? This is explained by the nature of the contextual challenge, unions’ ideological inheritance, their organizational capacity and the opportunity structures available.
