Zusammenfassung
Langfristig lassen sich erhebliche Schwankungen in der Relevanz korporatistischer Steuerung beobachten. Im Anschluss daran stellt sich die Frage, ob dadurch grundlegende Veränderungen im Profil dieses Steuerungstypus ausgelöst wurden. Auf der Grundlage von Daten für 20 OECD Ländern untersucht dieser Aufsatz, inwieweit sich im Zeitraum von 1970 bis 1996 signifikante Veränderungen in der Struktur und Performanz des (Makro-)Korporatismus vollzogen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Analyse widersprechen der orthodoxen Auffassung von der überlegenen Stabilität und Performanz „klassischer“ (d.h. hochkonzentrierter und-zentralisierter) Strukturen: Nichtklassische („schlankere“) Versionen des Korporatismus haben im Vergleich dazu nicht nur an Verbreitung gewonnen, sondern zeigen darüber hinaus auch keine schlechtere Leistungsbilanz als ihr klassisches Pendant. Der Aufsatz schließt mit einer Diskussion der Konsequenzen, die sich aus diesen Befunden für die Korporatismustheorie ergeben.
Abstract
Given notable fluctuations in the relevance of corporatist practices over time, the question is whether profound transformations in the profile of corporatism have accompanied these fluctuations. Based on data from 20 OECD countries, this paper examines whether and how corporatist wage regulation changed its profile in structures and performance from 1970 to 1996. The empirical evidence obtained from this analysis runs counter to the orthodox view of superior persistence and performance of classical (i.e. encompassing and centralized) structures of corporatism: nonclassical (“lean”) structures have gained in importance and have performed no worse than their classical counterpart. The paper concludes by discussing the implications these findings have for corporatist theory.
