Engagement in European social dialogue: an investigation into the role of social partner structural capacity
基于28个欧洲部门社会对话委员会的数据，研究了社会伙伴组织密度等结构性因素对达成欧洲部门社会对话协议的影响，发现组织密度是必要条件但非充分条件，并识别出四种参与类型。
Abstract Despite the importance of social dialogue for the European social model, there has been little attention to the factors that account for social partner engagement with European social dialogue. On the basis of data from 28 European sectoral social dialogue committees, this article investigates structural factors that account for the conclusion of European sectoral social dialogue agreements. It is found that actors' organisational density is a necessary but not sufficient factor for successful European social dialogue and four different categories of sectoral social partner engagement with European social dialogue are identified.
