The demise of ‘concertation’

Across Europe in particular the era of 'concertation' (economic management based upon attempts at achieving consensus between government, employers and trade unions) began to disintegrate as Monetarist ideology and market economics recaptured the political stage. The trade union movement, so central to the process and development of concertation in economic policy-making in the middle years of the 20th century, became seriously weakened by the political and legislative onslaught unleashed against them in the 1980s. Compston (1998) notes that the trade union movement was also fractured by:

the emergence of a large and well-educated middle class and a broadening of the range of issues on the political agenda; new social movements such as the environmental and peace movements competed for the allegiance of union members; trade union unity was weakened by the decline of working-class subcultures based on mass manufacturing.... The feminization of the workforce; the emergence of large and growing service sector unions....and the formation of productivity coalitions between individual employers and their workforces

(Compston, 1998, p. 513).
