Reports and deliverables

Below we attach the national reports from WP2 - Historical case studies and theoretical framework.

The task 2.1 provides the theoretical basis of the project. Each country team conducted 1 historical case study; we gathered 9 case studies in total within this task.
In this task we developed guidelines for partners to select cases for historical analysis of social dialogue in the 9 country contexts that cover the conceptual framework of the project and finalize the WP2 research design plan. Each country team conducted a metaanalysis of the economic history of the cases for a 5–20-year period beginning with the 1990s era. The recent economic history of selected regions in the 9 country contexts have been mapped with a focus on: (a) the disruptive technologies and general challenges faced; (b) how they have been addressed; (c) workers’ role and influence on developments. Key sources of data were, e.g., local and regional social and economic statistics, existing surveys, and local governments' reports.

The task 2.2 analyses and the writes up 9 historical cases. It contains the analysis of material gathered through mapping and characterizing events and social dynamics that align with the conceptual framework of the study. Special attention has been paid to the long-term effects of the unfolding transformations and assessing how social dynamics have affected equality. Furthermore, the reports comprise mapping local (social dialogue) dynamics in historical case studies. The description of the policy debate and social dynamics present in each case context are described with a focus on: (a) challenges discussed in the public discourse;(b) proposed solutions; (c) socio-economic equality and inclusivity considerations; and (d) reflections of confrontation or consensus seeking in social debate.
