Bargained liberalisation: the labour movement policy-making and transision in Zambia and South Africa.
(1994-08-04) Adler, Glen; Webster, Eddie;
The authors offer a social democratic alternative to neo-liberalism. First, liberalisation must be accompanied by social policies that minimise socialcosts. Second, policies must be designed with a view towards growth, and finally, policies must be formulated and implemented through corporatist-style consultation and negotiation beyond the state and parliament to include unions, employers and other interest groups. "Concertation" is central to their argument: it subjects the reform strategy to the competitive interplay of political forces, improves policy outcomes, builds support for the continuation of reforms, and helps consolidate democratic institutions.
