Abstract

The conclusion compares the case studies. It, firstly, enumerates the different institutional changes that were identified, i.e. displacement, conversion, and stability. It turns, secondly, to the explanatory factors of change: the characteristics and veto positions of the political context, the effects of a general socio-economic change on the constituents, the developments in the organisation and membership as well as external and the internal actors challenging or defending the institutions. In addition, three different chamber-specific strategies are presented. The comparison, thirdly, allows the identification of both the erosion of institutional legitimacy as a precondition for change and the four different paths of change. These paths combine internal and external actors and their distinctive chamber-specific strategies. The conclusion ends with an outlook on future research in this area.

Vorheriges Kapitel Institutional Change in German Chambers of Commerce

The current plenary of the Spanish chamber of commerce provides an interesting case in this respect, as it includes representatives of the ministries, business associations, local chambers of commerce, and large companies, which have the most votes (but not the majority) (Medina and Molins in this volume). It is a kind of post-corporatism, which aims at integrating transnational corporations in permanent coordination with the government and small business.

A debate on the merger of chambers of commerce and chambers of craft can also lead to a wider debate on why other important groups in the economy are not similarly organised, such as employees (chambers of employees exist in Austria, Luxembourg, Saarland and Bremen) or consumers.

Applications were made for support from a Corona aid fund for non-existent companies whose existence was ‘proven’ by websites.
