Trade Union Legitimacy and Legitimation Politics in Australia and New Zealand
分析了澳大利亚和新西兰工会如何通过参与合法化政治影响劳资关系政策，发现提升在公众中的道德合法性有助于增强与执政党的务实合法性，从而增加工会作为内部团体的权力资源。
This article analyzes how engagement in legitimation politics in Australia and New Zealand has enabled unions to influence the industrial relations policy process. It demonstrates how enhanced moral legitimacy with the wider public positively impacts unions’ pragmatic legitimacy with governing political parties. Drawing on Grant’s insider–outsider typology, we show how enhanced legitimacy can increase unions’ power resources as insider groups with center‐left and, to a lesser extent, center‐right governing parties, which can enable greater influence over industrial relations policy.
