The book analyzes social pacts among governments, labor unions, and employer organizations across Western Europe, utilizing a dataset from 16 countries and eight detailed case studies. The authors contend that the formation of these pacts or the adoption of legislation is primarily driven by electoral competition rather than economic challenges, offering a fresh perspective on the political dynamics that shape labor relations in the region.
