세계화와 사회조합주의 - 덴마크 단체협상제도 변화의 정치경제학 - = Globalization and Corporatist Political Economy in Denmark

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In Denmark the social partners have had influence on government policies and this feature outlines the main characteristics of the so-called Danish model. Also, important feature of the Danish collective bargaining system is its close relations with the political sphere, a system which is often referred to as the Danish model. This model is characterized by voluntary and agreement-based regulation combined with participation of the social partners in political decision-making.
These characteristics of the Danish model have changed dramatically during the 1980s when the economic crisis broke out in 1982 and the Conservative coalition government ruled the country. In terms of wage-bargaining practices, Denmark has undergone more decentralization than Norway and Finland and the degree of confederal and government involvement in wage bargaining has been weakened.
However, even though peak-level bargaining has been demised in 1980s, the formation of sub-confederal bargaining cartels, as well as wage settlements that are more encompassing than traditional industry agreements, followed in the 1990s. During the 1990s Danish social partners and the Social Democratic government have tried to restore the Danish model constructively. Peak level organizations of labor and capital have been playing significant roles in government policies and collective bargaining. They have restored tripartite talks and come to an agreement on reforms of industrial relations and labor market. Denmark case shows that the idea of neoliberal convergence is not supported and the changes in corporatist political economy are not uniform among Scandinavian countries.
