Five sectors -- Industry-wide collective bargaining : shrinking core, expanding fringes -- Intermediary organization : declining membership, rising tensions -- Social policy : the rise and fall of welfare corporatism -- Public finance : the fiscal crisis of the postwar state -- Corporate governance : the decline of Germany Inc. -- Systemic change : five parallel trajectories -- From system to process -- Endogenous change : time, age, and the self-undermining of institutions -- Time's up : positive externalities turning negative -- Disorganization as liberalization -- Convergence, non-convergence, divergence -- "Economizing'' and the evolution of political-economic institutions -- Internationalization -- German unification -- History -- Bringing capitalism back in. Wolfgang Streeck, a leading figure in comparative political economy and institutional theory, addresses some of the key arguments in these fields: the role of history in institutional analysis, the dynamics of slow institutional change, and the recurrent difficulties of restraining the effects of capitalism on social order. |
