Mass Unemployment and the State shows that domestic political
arrangements - the character of party competition, the relationship
between interest organizations and the state, and underlying
assumptions about the purpose of political authority - have
mattered greatly to the economic and labor market policies that
European governments pursued in response to the problem of
unemployment from the early 1970s to the 2000s. The book
concentrates on four European countries: Austria, Denmark, the
Netherlands, and Sweden. All these countries have been celebrated
as employment "miracles," but for different reasons, and at
different points in time. Low unemployment was the linchpin of
political arrangements in West European states in the first decades
after the Second World War. When mass unemployment became a threat
once more in the 1970s, Austria and Sweden - where post-war
political arrangements remained intact - responded more forcefully
than Denmark and the Netherlands, where political arrangements were
already changing. This set these four countries on different paths,
with enduring (and sometimes unexpected) political, economic, and
social consequences. Political arrangements mattered to economic
policies in the 1970s and 1980s, and to labor market policies in
the 1990s and 2000s.
