“…Research on Europeanisation of industrial relations has produced a diversity of findings mainly due to diverse and generally more careful conceptualisations as to what gets Europeanised -wage bargaining, practices of social partnership, sectoral bargaining, or final outcomes of these processes (Glassner and Pusch 2013;Marginson, Sisson, and Arrowsmith 2003;Tsarouhas 2008). However, even at this level of conceptual sophistication, existing research produces sometimes radically different conclusions about potential convergence of industrial relations across member states.…”

The article analyses the effects of the EU on practices of interest intermediation in four Central and Eastern European (CEE) member states. It zooms in on the practical implementation of the EU partnership principle for the European Structural and Investment Funds as a requirement that prescribes a certain mode of interest intermediation. The article captures the state and evolution of practices of partnership and argues that a specific variety of partnership between the state and societal actors has emerged in the countries under scrutiny. Actors on the ground have actively engaged with the EU model of partnership, reinterpreted and adjusted it to the local conditions, thus producing a mixed model. The model is characterised by less institutionalised and formalised interactions between state and societal actors and actors' normative orientation to transparency as the main benefit and purpose of partnership.

In a snap election in January 2015, the 'pro-austerity' parties in government lost power to a coalition of anti-austerity parties led by left-wing SYRIZA, who had promised to reverse the bulk of the measures implemented (Tsarouhas, 2008;Zambarloukou, 2006). In the public sector in turn, pay differed among job contracts covered by private or public employment law.…”

During the recent crisis, Greece experienced a severe contraction and rapid transformation in its labour relations and pay-setting system in both the private and public sectors. Although the quantity (employment) adjustments that followed have been well documented, the changes that were triggered in the wage structures of the two sectors remain largely unexplored. In this paper we examine these changes using Greek Labour Force Survey micro-data. We find a differential adjustment across sectors in terms of magnitude, timing, and structure. Despite general perceptions, adjustment in public sector wages has been slow and limited, with pre-crisis premia persisting throughout the period. Instead, the private sector recorded substantial adjustment, changing noticeably its valuation of worker and job characteristics and emerging from the crisis with a structure of returns that rewards more intensively marketable skills. This may be an important feature in the prospective recovery of the Greek economy.JEL Codes: J31, J45, J58, C31, C34, H12

“…Trade union representatives participated in 140 Committees and Councils, while representatives from the employers' associations were involved in more than 60 permanent national level structures (Aranitou and Yannakourou, 2004). These changes encouraged commentators to speak of the ''Europeanization effect" on social dialogue structures (Tsarouhas, 2008).…”

Résumé de l'article Depuis l'avènement de la crise de la dette européenne, les conditions de sauvetage financier imposées à la Grèce ont graduellement déplacé leur cible d'un « resserrement » des finances publiques à l' « amélioration de la capacité concurrentielle » de l'économie. Au cours de ce processus, la négociation collective a été ciblée comme domaine de réforme prioritaire, avec pour résultat un démantèlement graduel du système. L'objet principal de cet article est d'analyser les changements survenus dans le cadre institutionnel de la régulation de l'emploi, à partir des éclairages nous provenant de la littérature sur les types de capitalisme. On y argumente que l'injection d'éléments du libre marché dans le système d'emploi de la Grèce s'avère susceptible de transformer le pays en une économie de libre marché dysfonctionnelle.Les changements apportés dans la régulation collective de l'emploi ne tiennent pas compte des spécificités et des particularités du modèle méditerranéen de capitalisme et, ce faisant, risquent de laisser le pays avec le « pire des deux mondes » : une performance économique sous-optimale et une cohésion sociale diluée. L'article est structuré de la façon suivante. D'abord, le débat sur les types de capitalisme est considéré à la lumière de la crise globale. Ensuite, les caractéristiques principales du modèle de relation d'emploi grec sont discutées. Puis, la transformation de la régulation de l'emploi dans la foulée du sauvetage financier est examinée. Enfin, l'évolution vers une économie de libre marché dysfonctionnelle est analysée. La dernière section présente notre conclusion. 344© département des relations industrielles, université laval -issn 0034-379X -ri/ir, 69-2, 2014, 344-365 The Transformation of Employment Regulation in Greece: Towards a Dysfunctional Liberal Market Economy? Andreas Kornelakis and Horen voskeritsianSince the eruption of the European sovereign debt crisis, the bailout conditions imposed on Greece have gradually shifted their emphasis from ''tidying up" public finances towards ''improving the competitiveness" of the economy. The employment relations system has been targeted as one of the priority areas for reform, which resulted in its gradual dismantling. The article analyses this transformation in employment regulation, using insights from the varieties of capitalism literature. It is argued that the ongoing injection of liberal market el...
