Explaining the welfare state: power resources vs. the Quality of Government (2011, background): “Variation in welfare states reflects, according to this theory, ‘class-related distributive conflicts and partisan politics’ (Korpi, 2006: 168).”
Review Article: Comparative Political Science and the Study of Education (2011, background): “…its characterization of LMEs and CMEs is too ‘Platonistic’, disregarding institutional change, while overemphasizing the stability of production regimes, and neglecting the study of the historical and political foundations of skill regimes (Becker 2007; Korpi 2006; Stephens 2006; Streeck 2009).”
Trade union revitalisation: Where are we now? Where to next? (2017, background): “While partnerships might be beneficial for both parties of the employment relationship, the ‘beneficial constraints’ (Streeck, 2009) of employment protection and collective bargaining in most cases were driven by explicit strong union demands (Korpi, 2006).”
Inequality and Labor Market Institutions (2015, neutral): “From the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, there was a shift toward elected governments that favored the implementation of more market-driven policies, which could have led to a decline in union density and an increase in inequality (Korpi, 2006).”
Redistribution Under the Right in Latin America: Electoral Competition and Organized Actors in Policymaking (2017, background): “Subsequent research (Mares, 2003; Swenson, 1991) sometimes overstated business’s role in promoting social protection (Hacker & Pierson, 2002; Korpi, 2006).”
Labour market- versus life course-related social policies: understanding cross-programme differences (2012, background): “…at either developments in unemployment, sick-day and work accident replacement rates (Allan and Scruggs 2004; Esping-Andersen 1990; Hicks 1999; Korpi 2006; Korpi and Palme 1998, 2003), or aggregated spending categories (Garrett 1998; Iversen 2005; Kittel and Obinger 2003; Kwon and Pontusson…”
Asset Specificity, Institutional Complementarities and the Variety of Skill Regimes in Coordinated Market Economies (2009, background): “The subsequent discussions in the literature concentrate on re-asserting the explanatory power of partisan and power resources theory (Korpi, 2006; Kitschelt, 2006; Stephens, 2006) and whether unemployment insurance should be treated separately from other social policies because of its closer connec”
Perceived job quality in the United States, Great Britain, Norway and West Germany, 1989-2005 (2010, background): “PR emphasizes the distinct interests held by employers and workers (Korpi, 2006) and views the power of workers, operating through unions, as the main force that enhances the quality of employment, enabling them to improve working conditions, constrain the actions of employers and resist tight…”
Globalization, labour power and partisan politics revisited (2010, methodology): “…welfare-state literature, the idea that government partisanship matters is closely associated with the ‘power resources approach’ developed by Korpi (1983, 2006) and adopted, with modifications, by many other scholars, most notably Stephens (1979), Esping-Andersen (1990) and Huber and…”
