| Abstract: | In this article, theoretical approach construes labour conflicts as a problem of union choice which is embedded in a specific economic and institutional context. The hypotheses on these contextual factors are tested, employing time-series data for 19 countries. The results indicate that the trend towards social peace is due to changes in the economic environment, along with a weakening of the unions relative to employers. Cross-national differences in the incidence of conflicts remain mainly because of "rigid" corporatist institutions. |
