Social Concertation in Times of Austerity investigates the political underpinnings of social concertation in the context of European integration. Alexandre Afonso focuses on the regulation of labor mobility and unemployment protection in Austria and Switzerland, two of Europe's most prosperous countries, and he looks at nonpartisan policymaking as a strategy for compromise. With this smart, new study, Afonso powerfully enters the debate on the need for a shared social agenda in post-crisis Western Europe. --Provided by publisher. 517 $aSocial Concertation in Times of Austerity 606 $aIndustrial relations 615 0$aIndustrial relations. 676 $a331 700 $aAfonso$b Alexandre$0801895 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476989703321 996 $aSocial Concertation in Times of Austerity$91803156 997 $aUNINA
