Abstract:
|
The proponents of globalization contend that European countries are now converging on an Anglo-American model of capitalism. Contrary to this prediction, this paper will show that in Spain globalization and EMU have promoted rather that undermined coordination among economic actors. Unable to escape from economic interdependence the Spanish economic actors have developed coordinating capacities at the macro and micro levels to address and resolve tensions between economic interdependence and political sovereignty. In this paper I show that institutional change is a political matter and therefore it is possible to develop coordination capacities in countries that lack the strong tradition of Coordinated Market Economies (CMEs). The main claim is that in the industrial relations realm the trajectory of chance in Spain parallels development in the CMEs more closely than those in the Liberal Market Economies (LMEs). The central argument is that successful coordination depends not only on the organization of the social actors but also on their interests and strategies. This paper looks at the evolving interests of capital and the structural and political constraints within which employers define and defend their interests. |

Abstract: The proponents of globalization contend that European countries are now converging on an Anglo-American model of capitalism.

Unable to escape from economic interdependence the Spanish economic actors have developed coordinating capacities at the macro and micro levels to address and resolve tensions between economic interdependence and political sovereignty. In this paper I show that institutional change is a political matter and therefore it is possible to develop coordination capacities in countries that lack the strong tradition of Coordinated Market Economies (CMEs). The main claim is that in the industrial relations realm the trajectory of chance in Spain parallels development in the CMEs more closely than those in the Liberal Market Economies (LMEs).
