Abstract:
|
This paper explores how social actors attempt to influence the processes of economic restructuring by focusing on one aspect of economic refom program, privatization of the public sector, and on one interest group, labor organizations, in order to more fully understand the interaction between economic restructuring processes and interest groups as political actors. I do so by examining the first decade of reforms in four cases: Poland, Egypt, Mexico and the Czech Republic. I argue that whether labor organizations will or will not be able to influence the design and implementation of privatization strategies is best explained by the resources at labor’s disposal as market reforms are commenced. Those resources will differ depending on the relationship that developed between state and labor in the pre-reform period. |
