“…Although the centre-right won the subsequent elections, the worst effects of austerity were diluted in the wake of the protests. The opposition was able to organise effectively with trade unions and left parties and enter into a broader coalition against austerity (authors’ interviews) to discursively begin to argue against labour market precarity and wider neoliberal reform as violating the democratic revolution (see Carvalho and Ramos Pinto, 2019). As Fernandes (2017: 181–182) explains:Almost all major anti-austerity protest events were framed within the culture and tradition of the Portuguese revolution of 1974.…”

The condition of European economic democracy is generally recognised to be in a fragile state. Recent discussions have centred on pressures to converge towards an Anglo-American model of flexible and deregulated employment relations and systems, consonant with a broader neoliberal economic governance discourse. Existing approaches suggest an uneven experience between countries around a general trend of deterioration. In this article we offer two new contributions to these debates. First, we introduce findings from an Economic Democracy Index (EDI) we have developed. This goes beyond existing indices of employment and industrial democracy to allow us to examine the changing nature of individual employment rights as well as collective bargaining conditions between European countries. Second, we depart from existing studies of European employment relations, which tend to take a comparative national approach, by situating national employment relations and trajectories within a wider set of spatial and social relations. Qualitative analysis of three country cases (Denmark, Portugal and Slovenia) supplements our EDI analysis. Our evidence suggests the importance of multi-scalar relational and institutional dynamics between social actors at the national scale and those at higher scales such as the European Union in understanding variations in country performance on the EDI.
