Abstract

Over the last decade, Swedish labour relations have attracted relatively little scholarly attention, not least due to their ‘normalization’ along the lines of continental European practices. This article argues that the Swedish Model of labour concertation and social partnership has survived the turbulence of the 1990s, and the main reason for that is the salient power resources that uniosn and social democrats have retianed. The Model’s recent resurgence is intimately linked to the ability of the trade unions to co-regulate the labour market, which is a result of the organisational and institutional resources they possess. These are, however, under attack since the election of the Reinfeldt government in 2006. A complete explanation of their contemporary role in Swedish industrial relations necessitates a nuanced theoretical approach that rejects purely materialist and interest-oriented perspectives. Instead, the article suggests a historical institutionalist framework combining interests with ideas embedded in institutional configurations.

Özet

Son onyılda İsveç emek ilişkileri, biraz da kıta Avrupası pratikleri doğrultusunda ‘normalleşme’leri nedeniyle görece daha az akademik ilgi çekti. Bu makale İsveç emek uyumu ve sosyal partnerlik modelinin 1990’ların çalkantısına rağmen ayakta kaldığını ve bunun asıl nedeninin sendikalar ve sosyal demokratların elinde bulundurduğu göze çarpan güç kaynakları olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Model’in yakın zamanda güçlenmesi sendikaların, sahip oldukları örgütsel ve kurumsal kaynakların bir sonucu olan, emek piyasasını birlikte düzenleme yeteneklerine yakın bir şekilde bağlıdır. Ancak bu kaynaklar, 2006’da Reinfeldt hükümetinin seçilmesinden bu yana saldırı altındadır. İsveç sınai ilişkilerindeki çağdaş rollerinin eksiksiz bir açıklaması katı materyalist ve çıkar yönelimli perspektifleri reddeden ayrıntılı bir kuramsal yaklaşımı gereksinmektedir. Bu makale, bu perspektifler yerine, kurumsal konfigürasyonlarda yerleşik düşünceleri çıkarlarla birleştiren tarihsel kurumsalcı bir çerçeve önermektedir.
