Abstract

The panel explores the role of organized interests in the development and reform of modern welfare states. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative techniques, it aims to discuss the coalitional politics of social policy, and potential interactions between producer groups (such as trade unions and employer associations) and the electoral sphere.
