Tripartism the national-level interaction among representatives
of labor, management, and government occurs infrequently in the
United States. Based on the U.S. experience, then, such
interactions might seem irrelevant to economic performance and
policymaking. The essays in this volume reveal the falsity of that
assumption. Contributors from eight industrialized countries
(Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands,
and the United States) examine the changing nature of
labor-management relations, with a particular focus on the role of
tripartism and the decentralization of collective bargaining.
Although nonexistent in the United States and on the decline in
Japan and Australia, tripartism flourishes in Germany, Ireland, and
the Netherlands, expanding beyond traditional corporatist partners
to include women's organizations, senior citizens, and other
representatives of "civic society." The vibrancy of the
coordinating mechanisms that help shape employment conditions and
labor policy contradicts the traditional belief that an
overpowering unilateral decentralizing shift is underway in
labor-management interactions. The contributors show that these
mechanisms are in fact increasing in the face of intensified
pressures, promoting greater flexibility in work organization and
working time."
