This first comparative-historical analysis of the regulations that
restrict the managerial capacity to dismiss employees and use
temporary forms of employment addresses four puzzles that have long
troubled the comparative political economy literature. Who is the
driving force behind the extension of dismissal protection? Why is
statutory dismissal protection particularly extensive in
continental Europe? How can the uneven temporal development of job
security regulations be explained? And what are the causes of the
two-tier labour market reforms in recent decades? Analysing the
historical development of job security regulations in Western
Europe from the establishment of freedom of contract in the 19th
century until the peak of two-tier labour market reforms in the
2000s, this book contributes to resolving these puzzles by
emphasising the important role of trade unions, their preference
for institutional control, and the strategic choices they make.
