The Consequences of Economic Globalization for Affluent Democracies (2007, background): “Scruggs & Lange (2002) find that globalization has, at most, marginal effects on union density in affluent democracies.”
Labor Unions, Political Representation, and Economic Inequality (2017, background): “The first wave of empirical work found that various forms of globalization played, at best, a bit part in the widening wage distribution of the 1980–1990s (Freeman 1995, Bradley et al. 2001, Scruggs & Lange 2002).”
Economic Globalization and the Welfare State in Affluent Democracies, 1975–2001 (2005, background): “21 We appreciate that studies fail to provide much evidence that globalization actually has large causal effects on deindustrialization (Alderson 1999) and labor power (Scruggs and Lange 2002).”
The Organizational and Social Foundations of Worker Resistance (2004, background): “The influence of England may capture the impact of broader national history and collective action legitimacy, above and beyond union presence and strike history at a singular workplace (Griffin et al. 1991; Kelly and Kelly 1991; Scruggs and Lange 2002).”
Understanding unequal turnout: Education and voting in comparative perspective (2010, background): “These organizations have been losing affiliates over the last few decades in many advanced industrial societies (Ebbinghaus and Visser, 2000; Scruggs and Lange, 2002; Visser, 2006).”
