The hybridization of national collective bargaining systems: The impact of the economic crisis on the transformation of collective bargaining in the European Union
本文论证经济危机使欧盟各国的集体谈判制度变得多层次、多孔且动态不稳定,即混合化,并解释这种转型源于国内路径依赖与外部改革压力的双重作用。
In this article it is argued that the economic crisis has made national collective bargaining systems increasingly multi-layered, perforated and dynamically unstable, i.e. hybrid. The authors explain these transformations in terms of the concomitance of two different sources of change which do not necessarily follow the same logics. The first source stems from national systems’ endogenous logic of path dependency and the second from pressure to reform in accordance with exogenously applied strategies and logics. It is argued that these sources act like a whipsaw, pushing and pulling national collective bargaining systems between the two logics, leading to hybrid collective bargaining systems.
