| Abstract: | The two main streams of quantitative research on the determinants of aggregate strike activity over time and across countries: the economic approach and the organizational/political approach. Economists have demonstrated that strike activity is linked to the business cycle, and sociologists and political scientists have shown that it is linked in the longer term to workers' organizational capacity and political position in national power structures. This study, however, points out unresolved contradictions among the empirical findings, and a lack of integration between the two main approaches. The almost exclusive reliance on official strike statistics is criticized. |
