30 Introduction the institution of works councils has been a stable source of influence in the face of changing political and economic conditions. On the political side, the participation of labor in the process of adjustment of firms has been independent of the composition of governments – a situation that contrasts sharply with the importance of the Social Democratic party (SAP) in Sweden (Thelen, 1993). On the economic side, the influence of labor has been maintained in the context of a major shift in the relative power between national unions and firm-level works councils.

Firm-level works councils have provided employees with significant influence over many aspects of work reorganization – such as the introduction of new technologies, investment decisions, and the design and implementation of firm-level internal flexibility (Markovits and Allen, 1984: 153–69; Thelen, 1991: 209–14; Fuchs and Schettkat, 2000).

For instance, policymakers possessed significant leverage over resources that had an indirect and direct bearing on firm profitability: the workings of the financial system provided firms with external financial resources for investment projects; state policies in the areas of price controls, procurement policies, and exchange rates impacted directly on the balance sheet of companies (Levy, 1999: 234–92; see also SaintEtienne, 1996). The focus on capturing the state, even if trade unions aimed at a profound transformation of the French economy, was further incentivized with the consolidation of the political system under the Fifth Republic (Suleiman, 1978, 1994; see also Clift, 2008).
