Employers and Active Labor Market Policy at the National and Firm Levels (2004, background): “…universally available social services and long-term party control enables these governments to take action without business interference (Esping-Andersen 1996; Huber and Stephens 2001; Swank 2002) and/or to alter corporate expectations about the range of possible politics (Hacker and Pierson 2002).”
