The institutional arrangements governing skill formation are widely
seen as constituting a key element in the institutional
constellations that define distinctive 'varieties of capitalism'
across the developed democracies. This book explores the origins
and evolution of such institutions in four countries - Germany,
Britain, the United States and Japan. It traces cross-national
differences in contemporary training regimes back to the nineteenth
century, and specifically to the character of the political
settlement achieved among employers in skill-intensive industries,
artisans, and early trade unions. The book also tracks evolution
and change in training institutions over a century of development.
It uncovers important continuities through putative 'break points'
in history, but also - more importantly perhaps - provides insights
into modes of institutional change that are incremental but
cumulatively transformative. The study underscores the limits of
the most prominent approaches to institutional change, and
identifies the political processes through which the form and
functions of institutions can be radically reconfigured over time.
