The course will highlight the interrelationships between the politics of market-making and the reshaping of industrial relations in Europe. The nineties were the decade of market making both in the Eastern and the Western parts of Europe. In the post-communist countries, this was the decade of attempts to build up market economies. In Western Europe, this was the decade of the creation of the Single Market and the preparation for the European Monetary Union (EMU). Market making, both at the national level and at the supra-national levels went hand in hand with a dramatic reshaping of the political and social relations among key national-level economic actors in both parts of the continent and the consolidation of supranational (European) actors. In Central and Eastern Europe the changes resulted largely in the marginalization of organized labour, combined in some countries with the capture of national states by a small group of winners and the impoverishment of an important segment, if not the majority of the population.

Within the EU, on the other hand, while traditional national industrial relations systems got increasingly under strain, only exceptional labour was marginalised. The majority of member states searched for labour-inclusive policies in coping with the challenges of the single market, and hitherto several member states witnessed the revival of social pacts. The highly divergent fate of post ’90 Europe and European states both in terms of market making and in terms of pursuing labour-inclusive or exclusive policies calls for investigating the interrelationship between market making and societal regulation of business and labour markets embodied in industrial relations systems.
