Knew as We Politics Party Party Politics as We Knew It? is an investigation of welfare state reforms in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands from the early 1980s to 2006. In Party Politics as We Knew It? the post-World War II era, social democrats and Christian democrats played a central role in building and expanding welfare states. This book argues Failure to Dominate Government, Intraparty Dynamics that these parties still have room for policy choices but, especially since the 1990s, choices are different than predicted and explained by current dominant and Welfare Reforms in Continental Europe theories on the politics of welfare state reform. Their main weakness seems to be that they fail to pay attention to changes of dominant coalitions within social democratic and Christian democratic parties. Against a background of contextual challenges (fiscal austerity and changing constituencies), the cata- lyst for such internal change is a situation of failure to dominate government.

Zeitlin Faculteit der Maatschappij- en Gedragswetenschappen Acknowledgements After having spent four years toiling over a dissertation on a daily basis and one year on an ad hoc basis, writing an acknowledgement should be easy. Ha. Two pages of my dissertation are nothing compared to these two pages. You know that many people actually read these pages, along with the summary. Initially, your are also saddled with the burden of possibly forgetting to thank someone. Soon afterwards, you accept that thanking everyone requires writing another book. Indeed, writing a PhD thesis may sometimes feel like an individual journey, but the list of people who contributed to my development as a scholar and a policy maker is long. First, I want to thank my supervisors Brian Burgoon, Erik de Gier and Bernhard Kittel for their continued support and knowledgeable insights over the years. Brian, your inspiring course gave a crucial boost to my curiosity about welfare state development and got me interested in writhing a dissertation in the first place. Whether I wanted to submit a research proposal to the Amsterdam School for Social Science Research (ASSR, nowadays the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research) or discuss life after a PhD, you were always there to help and encourage me. Erik, nothing less applies to you. Moreover, I would like thank you for emphasizing the societal contribution at which social science research should aim. Bernhard, above all, I have come to know you as a dedicated supervisor who has played a decisive role in various stages of my research by making seemingly simple comments that led me to think through and improve the general argument. Further, I am grateful for opening many doors in Austria and Germany, not least the door of your own apartment in Vienna where I could stay over for nearly two months. I was lucky enough to be part of two different tracks at the University of Amsterdam: the ASSR and the Governance as Learning Program. At the ASSR, a special thanks to my friend and wedding arranger Ward Berenschot, the International Political Economy PhD club, Jos de Beus, Annette Freyberg-Inan and Philip van Praag for academic advice and inspiration, the secretariat including Anneke, Miriam, Hermance and Teun; Hans and José, and many friends and fellow PhD students, including Alexandru, Corina, Christian, Damian, Deasy, Helmy, Hester, Imrat, Jasper, Leang, Luc, Marlous, Mihai, Silke, Victor and many more. At the Governance as Learning Program, thanks to Jelle Visser for having faith in my capabilities, sending me to the US to learn more about European social policy and introducing me to many inspiring people like Marc van der Meer. Anton Hemerijck, thank you for all our stimulating discussions and the great work experience at the Scientific Council for Government Policy. Jonathan Zeitlin, my trip as a visiting scholar to the University of vii Wisconsin-Madison has far exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for all your generosity with time, and prompt and constructive feedback, also after having returned to Amsterdam. My fellow PhD students and friends Bart, Birgitte, Nynke, Minna, Peter and Rob thanks for everything. I would like to express my special thanks to Jens Alber, Peter Biegelbauer, Bernhard Ebbinghaus and Reinhart Schneider for offering me the opportunity to reside as a visiting scholar at the Institute of Higher Education in Vienna, the Mannheim Center of European Social Policy and the Science Center Berlin. Thank you to all the interviewees, who willingly shared time with me and offered assistance and crucial insights. Without you, this book could not have been written. I owe you enormous debt for giving me a pleasant, guided tour through the black box of intraparty politics and the maze of welfare state reform. You may not agree with everything I have written and surely will not find all the information you handed to me. As such, the responsibility of any errors or omissions is mine. At times, it was not easy to have a life outside academia, and I have not always spent as much time with family and friends as I would have liked. Yet, you all helped to keep me going. Despite the fact that many of you do not (fully) understand what I have been doing, you all believe that I am doing something great. However, my deepest gratitude goes to my parents and my wife Kátia for their love and support, and to Antônio. Even though Antônio still has to learn to talk, all of you have taught me that there are much more important things in life than work. viii Contents List of Figures and Tables xiii Abbreviations xv 1 Introduction 1.1 The Question 1 1.2 Outline of the Argument 3 1.3 Theoretical Contributions 11 2 Parties as Policy Choice-Makers 2.1 Party Politics as We Knew It? 15 2.2 Why Parties Matter Less and Less 18 2.3 Why We Need New Insights on Parties and Welfare Reform 26 2.4 Bridging Theories on Party Organizations and Parties’ Social Policy Preferences 32 2.4.1 Identifying Groups within Traditional Pro-Welfare Parties 33 2.4.2 The Dominant Coalition 35 2.4.3 Contextual Challenges and Elite Circulation 38 2.4.4 Phase I: Failure to Dominate Government as a Catalyst 40 2.4.5 Phase II: Change in Dominant Coalition Composition 46 2.4.6 Phase III: Modifying Internal Rules and the Party’s Policy Preferences 46 3 Research Design 3.1 The Value of Small-N Research 51 3.2 Austria, Germany and the Netherlands: A Most Similar Systems Design 54 3.3 The Choice of Welfare State Programs 59 3.4 The Choice of Time Period 62 3.5 Operationalizing Welfare Reform 65 4 Developments in Electoral Contexts in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands 4.1 Developments within Party Systems 69 4.2 Developments within the Electorate

The objective of the draft directive is to offer a way of avoiding the double taxation of profits transferred "artificially" between associated enterprises established in different member states. It is believed that multinational companies in particular have been using this device of disguised and artificial profit transfers in numerous ways (for example, by demanding excessive patent fees). Under present circumstances, a member state's tax au­ thorities may slap a higher tax on a parent company that has in effect reduced its tax liability by transferring profits to a subsidiary in another state. Yet, tax author­ ities in the latter state may not necessarily lower their assessment accordingly. The draft proposes that in such a case a special arbitration commission, composed of national tax officials and independent persons, would work out a so­ lution in order to eliminate double taxation (Common Market Reports, Par.

  • Germany: a Global Miracle and a European Challenge
    GLOBAL ECONOMY & DEVELOPMENT WORKING PAPER 62 | MAY 2013 Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS GERMANY: A GLOBAL MIRACLE AND A EUROPEAN CHALLENGE Carlo Bastasin Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS Carlo Bastasin is a visiting fellow in the Global Economy and Development and Foreign Policy pro- grams at Brookings. A preliminary and shorter version of this study was published in "Italia al Bivio - Riforme o Declino, la lezione dei paesi di successo" by Paolazzi, Sylos-Labini, ed. LUISS University Press. This paper was prepared within the framework of “A Growth Strategy for Europe” research project conducted by the Brookings Global Economy and Development program. Abstract: The excellent performance of the German economy over the past decade has drawn increasing interest across Europe for the kind of structural reforms that have relaunched the German model. Through those reforms, in fact, Germany has become one of the countries that benefit most from global economic integration. As such, Germany has become a reference model for the possibility of a thriving Europe in the global age. However, the same factors that have contributed to the German "global miracle" - the accumulation of savings and gains in competitiveness - are also a "European problem". In fact they contributed to originate the euro crisis and rep- resent elements of danger to the future survival of the euro area. Since the economic success of Germany has translated also into political influence, the other European countries are required to align their economic and social models to the German one. But can they do it? Are structural reforms all that are required? This study shows that the German success depended only in part on the vast array of structural reforms undertaken by German governments in the twenty-first century.

'Het is moeilijk om nieuwe leden te winnen', zegt Gerrit Voerman, hoogleraar aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. 'Maar het blijkt mogelijk. En het is nodig.' Het Documentatiecentrum Nederlandse Politieke Partijen publiceerde deze maand de jaarlijkse stand: een groei van het ledenaantal met 10 procent, grotendeels dankzij Forum voor Democratie. 'Een verkiezingsjaar laat altijd aanwas zien', zegt Voerman. 'Wat opvalt is de sterke groei voor Baudet’s FvD met name onder jongeren. Het blijkt mogelijk om, met inzet van sociale media, jongeren aan je te binden.' Lees verder › Het karwei Het karwei zit er op.

    The Malleable Politics of Activation Reform: the‘Hartz’ Reforms in Comparative Perspective Nigel Boyle[[email protected]] and Wolf Schünemann [[email protected]] Paper for 2009 EUSA Biennial Conference, April 25, Los Angeles. Abstract In this paper we compare the Hartz reforms in Germany with three other major labor market activation reforms carried out by center-left governments. Two of the cases, Britain and Germany, involved radically neoliberal “mandatory” activation policies, whereas in the Netherlands and Ireland radical activation change took a very different “enabling” form. Two of the cases, Ireland and Germany, were path deviant, Britain and the Netherlands were path dependent. We explain why Germany underwent “mandatory” and path deviant activation by focusing on two features of the policy discourse. First, the coordinative (or elite level) discourse was “ensilaged” sealing policy formation off from dissenting actors and, until belatedly unwrapped for enactment, from the wider communicative (legitimating) discourse. This is what the British and German cases had in common and the result was reform that viewed long term unemployment as personal failure rather than market failure. Second, although the German policy-making system lacked the “authoritative” features that facilitated reform in the British case, and the Irish policy- making system lacked the “reflexive” mechanisms that facilitated reform in the Dutch case, in both Germany and Ireland the communicative discourses were reshaped by novel institutional vehicles (the Hartz Commission in the German case, FÁS in the Irish case) that served to fundamentally alter system- constitutive perceptions about policy. In the Irish and German cases “government by commission” created a realignment of advocacy coalitions with one coalition acquiring a new, ideologically-dominant and path deviating narrative.
