Social democrats, unions and corporatism: Denmark and Sweden compared
- 2011
-
In: Party Politics. - 1354-0688. ; 17:1, s. 118-134
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A number of recent studies have documented weakening ties between social democratic parties and trade unions. This article is concerned with the effects of weakening party–union ties on policymaking. In many classic studies of corporatism it has been argued that this mode of policymaking depends on strong ties between social democratic parties and trade unions. In this article, we argue, in contrast, that strong party–union ties are potentially detrimental to corporatism, because in a polarized political environment unions may be tempted to exert political influence via political allies instead of bargaining with their counterparts. In order to evaluate this argument empirically, we present a detailed analysis of two countries with strong corporatist traditions (Denmark and Sweden) from the 1970s to the 1990s.

Corruption, Bureaucratic Failure and Social Policy Priorities
- 2013

In: Political Studies. - : SAGE Publications. - 0032-3217 .- 1467-9248. ; 61:3, s. 523-542

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article argues that bureaucratic capacity - the competence and reliability of the national bureaucracy - matters to the allocation of public spending among welfare state programmes since it is difficult for governments to justify high levels of spending on programmes that require bureaucrats to make case-by-case decisions, on a discretionary basis, if the bureaucracy is incompetent, corrupt or both. We expect bureaucratic capacity to have a positive effect on programmes that involve bureaucratic discretion, but weak or no effects on programmes that are more straightforward to implement. In order to test these hypotheses, we analyse public spending on active labour market programmes (which involve a lot of discretion) and parental leave benefits (which involve less discretion). Relying on data for twenty advanced democracies from the mid-1980s to the mid-2000s, we find that high bureaucratic capacity does have a positive effect on active labour market policy spending, but not on parental leave benefits.
