Europe’s current multiple social, ecological and geopolitical crises reveal an urgent need for change. Underlying these crises is a capital accumulation regime focused on generating profits from increased exploitation of labour and extraction from nature, thus threatening our biosphere and undermining our society (Spash, 2021a). Unless urgent action is taken, climate breakdown will bring about a future of untold human suffering, as the recent IPCC (2022a) report underlined. In any case, ecological limits are increasingly constraining human activities, with dramatic consequences of the kind illustrated by recent extreme weather events. In order to maintain the pursuit of economic growth under these conditions, extraction and exploitation will have to become more extreme. But this will only exacerbate the social crisis epitomised by the cost-of-living crisis. In order to avoid this there is a need, as the IPCC (2022b: TS/99) argues, to shift from a ‘GDP growthoriented economy’ to a ‘low-carbon energy-services, well-being, and equity-oriented economy’. A ‘labour–nature alliance’ will be indispensable in enabling such a social-ecological transformation. This article will highlight potentials for a labour–nature alliance in the current circumstances and provide a brief list of recommendations for action. Trade unionists and ecologists have not always seen eye to eye. There have been various historical battles in which they were on opposing sides of the so-called ‘jobs/environment dilemma’ (Räthzel and Uzzell, 2011), for example, in Austria, with the conflicts over Zwentendorf nuclear power station or the hydropower plant in what would become Donau-Auen National Park (Brand and Niedermoser, 2017: 34, 36–39, 134–135; Soder et al., 2018: 529–530). Both organised labour and ecological movements are relatively weak on their own in comparison with organised capital, however. Under current social circumstances it is likely that both will fail in satisfactorily resolving the crises they aim to address. To illustrate this dynamic, I put forward a schematic of possible alliances between three forces: labour, capital and nature (Figure 1). This schematic was developed in my thesis (Nitsche-Whitfield, 2022) and informed by the work of Brand and Wissen (2018) and Laurent and Pochet (2015: 15–27). With the aim of reducing exploitation, at least in the Global North, trade unions are currently in a dominant alliance with capital. This produces a ‘brown’, extractive form of capitalism. On the other hand, the dominant alliance of the environmentalist movement (nature) is focused on working with green capital. This produces a green capitalism that aims to reduce the impacts of extractivist practices. Hence, current alliances are organised around the focal point of capital, thereby bestowing even more power on capital. However, both coalitions with capital are leading to catastrophic consequences for labour and nature, albeit to different degrees, while a bottom-up allia
欧洲当前的多重社会、生态和地缘政治危机显示出变革的迫切需要。这些危机的基础是资本积累制度,其重点是通过增加对劳动力的剥削和对自然的开采来产生利润,从而威胁到我们的生物圈并破坏我们的社会(Spash, 2021a)。正如最近的IPCC (2022a)报告所强调的那样,除非采取紧急行动,否则气候崩溃将给人类带来难以估量的痛苦。无论如何,生态极限正日益制约着人类活动,最近的极端天气事件就说明了这一点。在这种情况下,为了保持对经济增长的追求,采掘和开采将不得不变得更加极端。但这只会加剧以生活成本危机为代表的社会危机。正如IPCC (2022b: TS/99)所指出的那样,为了避免这种情况,有必要从“以GDP增长为导向的经济”转向“以低碳能源服务、福祉和公平为导向的经济”。一个“劳动-自然联盟”在实现这样的社会-生态转变中将是不可或缺的。本文将强调在当前情况下劳工性质联盟的潜力,并提供一份行动建议的简短清单。工会成员和生态学家并不总是意见一致。在所谓的“工作/环境困境”(Räthzel和Uzzell, 2011)的对立双方的各种历史斗争中,例如,在奥地利,与Zwentendorf核电站或水电站的冲突将成为多瑙-奥恩国家公园(Brand和Niedermoser, 2017: 34,36 - 39,134 - 135;Soder等,2018:529-530)。然而,与有组织的资本相比,有组织的劳工运动和生态运动本身都相对薄弱。在目前的社会环境下,两者很可能无法令人满意地解决它们旨在解决的危机。为了说明这一动态,我提出了三种力量之间可能的联盟示意图:劳动力、资本和自然(图1)。这一示意图是在我的论文(Nitsche-Whitfield, 2022)中发展起来的,并根据Brand和Wissen(2018)以及Laurent和Pochet(2015: 15-27)的工作提供了信息。为了减少剥削,至少在全球北方,工会目前处于与资本的主导联盟中。这就产生了一种“棕色”的、榨取式的资本主义。另一方面,环境保护运动(自然)的主导联盟专注于与绿色资本合作。这产生了一种绿色资本主义,旨在减少采掘行为的影响。因此,当前的联盟是围绕资本的焦点组织起来的,从而赋予资本更多的权力。然而,这两种与资本的联盟都导致了劳动力和自然的灾难性后果,尽管程度不同,而劳动力和自然之间自下而上的联盟具有真正变革的力量(Kalt, 2022: 4-5)。因此,这个三角关系不能被解读为经典的经济学三难困境,因为它们不是平等的选择。三角形更像是一个解释工具,突出了资本、劳动力和自然面临的抽象选择。在下文中,我将描述这三位演员的立场。目前,工会陷入了一场与有组织资本的艰苦斗争中,这些资本已经收获了几十年来新自由主义全球化和重新监管的成果,这些成果有利于金融利益

As complex challenges like climate change and inequality become increasingly salient, eco-social policies are emerging as suitable public policy instruments to pursue integrated environmental and social objectives. However, despite their rising relevance, a descriptive – and hence empirically applicable – definition is still lacking in the reference literature, currently dominated by normative studies. Therefore, building on a critical assessment of the state of the art, this article proposes a framework for conceptualising eco-social policies, calling for an output-based definition with policy integration as its core element. The article also proposes a typology to differentiate various eco-social policies along two dimensions: the direction of policy integration and the link to economic growth. This typology allows us to elaborate on the possible roles that the welfare state can play vis-à-vis environmental challenges and policies, for instance in the context of decarbonisation: reactive or preventive; protection- or investment-oriented.
随着气候变化和不平等等复杂挑战日益突出,生态社会政策正成为追求综合环境和社会目标的合适公共政策工具。然而,尽管它们的相关性越来越高,但参考文献中仍然缺乏描述性的-因此经验上适用的-定义,目前以规范研究为主。因此,本文在对现有技术状况进行批判性评估的基础上,提出了一个概念化生态社会政策的框架,呼吁以政策整合为核心要素的基于产出的定义。本文还从政策整合的方向和与经济增长的联系两个维度对不同的生态社会政策进行了分类。这种类型使我们能够详细阐述福利国家在-à-vis环境挑战和政策中可能发挥的作用,例如在脱碳的背景下:反应性或预防性;以保护或投资为导向。

From a ‘just transition for us’ to a ‘just transition for all’ 从“我们的公正过渡”到“所有人的公正过渡”

This article will demonstrate that, given the complexity of inequalities in the climate-environment-social nexus, fragmented policies for a just transition that focus on only one dimension of inequality will not deliver the results needed to justify proclaiming a ‘just transition for all’. By reframing the sustainability trilemma for the case of the climate emergency and deconstructing the concept of a ‘just transition’ based on the relevant literature and selected case studies, we shall highlight some of the concept’s inherent contradictions. The article will argue that a holistic approach requires a reframing of the role of the welfare state.
本文将证明,考虑到气候-环境-社会关系中不平等的复杂性,仅关注不平等的一个方面的公正过渡的支离破碎的政策将无法提供证明宣布“所有人的公正过渡”所需的结果。通过重新构建气候紧急情况下的可持续性三难困境,并基于相关文献和选定的案例研究解构“公正过渡”的概念,我们将强调该概念的一些内在矛盾。本文将论证整体性的方法需要重新定义福利国家的角色。

This article lays out an agenda for researching the social policy challenges facing the EU under the combined impact of a triple transition: green, digital and demographic. It takes as its starting point the double bind confronting the welfare state, pressured by increasing costs and serious socio-ecological concerns on the one hand, and the need, more daunting than ever, for protection against a vast array of imminent socio-economic, demographic and environmental risks, on the other. Against this background, it explores the complex web of synergies and trade-offs between the three transitions, examines the disjointed manner in which EU social policy has so far developed, and demonstrates the controversial stance of the EU’s overarching strategic framework – the European Green Deal – on the issue of a socially just transition. It also maps key research foci and gaps deserving further study, including the role of key players in the transition.
本文提出了研究欧盟在绿色、数字和人口三重转型的共同影响下面临的社会政策挑战的议程。它以福利国家面临的双重困境为出发点,一方面受到成本增加和严重的社会生态问题的压力,另一方面,比以往任何时候都更令人生畏的是,需要防范大量迫在眉睫的社会经济、人口和环境风险。在此背景下,本文探讨了三种转型之间的协同效应和权衡的复杂网络,考察了迄今为止欧盟社会政策发展的脱节方式,并展示了欧盟总体战略框架——欧洲绿色协议——在社会公正转型问题上的争议立场。它还描绘了值得进一步研究的关键研究重点和差距,包括关键参与者在转型中的作用。

The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic and technological adjustment increased the risk of unemployment, underemployment and skills mismatch across Europe. These increased risks highlighted the importance of national unemployment benefit schemes for income security. This article examines the role of industrial relations in shaping unemployment benefit regimes in the Visegrad countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. We adopted an actor-oriented approach based on desk research and 12 semi-structured interviews with the representatives of trade unions and employers in all the Visegrad countries. Our research showed that the capacities of the trade unions and employers' associations to shape the unemployment benefit regimes were rather limited. State control over social policy remained very strong and shaped the dynamics of industrial relations, without inclusive involvement of social partners. National governments sought to implement measures to protect employment (mainly wage subsidies), rather than to reform existing unemployment support regimes.
2019冠状病毒病大流行以及随之而来的经济和技术调整增加了整个欧洲失业、就业不足和技能不匹配的风险。这些增加的风险突出了国家失业福利计划对收入保障的重要性。本文考察了2019冠状病毒病大流行期间维谢格拉德国家劳资关系在形成失业救济制度方面的作用。我们采用了一种以参与者为导向的方法,该方法基于桌面研究和对所有维谢格拉德国家的工会和雇主代表的12次半结构化访谈。我们的研究表明,工会和雇主协会塑造失业福利制度的能力相当有限。国家对社会政策的控制仍然非常强大,并在没有社会伙伴的包容性参与的情况下塑造了工业关系的动态。各国政府寻求实施保护就业(主要是工资补贴)的措施,而不是改革现有的失业支助制度。

Unemployment benefit governance, trade unions and outsider protection in conservative welfare states 保守福利国家的失业救济金治理、工会和外来者保护

This article explores the relationship between trade union governance roles in unemployment benefit systems, their power resources and their capacity to counteract liberalising and dualising trends in the labour market in conservative welfare states with compulsory unemployment insurance. Against received wisdom, this article argues that in the 21st century trade unions in continental Europe have generally sought to combat the dualism to which their welfare states and labour markets are institutionally susceptible. In this context, a role in the operation of unemployment benefit systems and related forms of institutional power could help unions to attain the enhanced outsider protection they seek. But different modes of union involvement in public policy produce different levels of institutional power, and help to condition its impact on policy development over time.

本文探讨了工会在失业福利制度中的治理作用、工会的权力资源以及工会在实行强制性失业保险的保守福利国家中对抗劳动力市场自由化和二元化趋势的能力之间的关系。与公认的智慧不同,本文认为,在21世纪,欧洲大陆的工会普遍寻求与福利国家和劳动力市场在制度上易受影响的二元论作斗争。在这方面,在失业福利制度和有关形式的机构权力的运作中发挥作用可以帮助工会获得它们所寻求的加强的外部保护。但工会参与公共政策的不同模式产生了不同程度的制度权力,并有助于调节其对政策发展的影响。本文通过比较奥地利、法国和德国劳动力市场政策和法规的最新发展来说明这些观点。

Against received wisdom, this article argues that in the 21st century trade unions in continental Europe have generally sought to combat the dualism to which their welfare states and labour markets are institutionally susceptible. In this context, a role in the operation of unemployment benefit systems and related forms of institutional power could help unions to attain the enhanced outsider protection they seek. But different modes of union involvement in public policy produce different levels of institutional power, and help to condition its impact on policy development over time. This article illustrates these points with a comparison of the recent development of labour market policy and regulation in Austria, France and Germany.","PeriodicalId":23253,"journal":{"name":"Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80325834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article discusses the multi-faceted and changing role played by trade unions in providing unemployment benefits in Sweden, a country using the so-called Ghent system. As an important institutional feature explaining the high rate of unionisation in the Nordics, the system has been much debated. This article provides a comprehensive account of the retrenchment of the state unemployment benefit system (UBS) and the development of occupational and private UBS pillars providing complementary protection. It also introduces an ongoing reform discussion where the social partners are proposed to govern the unemployment insurance system via collective agreements, while retaining the union-linked insurance funds. The core institutional feature of the Ghent system – voluntary membership of a union-linked insurance fund – is turning out to be highly resilient despite frequent attempts to weaken the union power stemming from it. However, the system’s role in providing unemployment protection has changed due to its development into a multi-pillar structure, meaning that its future prospects are uncertain.
本文讨论了在瑞典这个使用所谓根特制度的国家,工会在提供失业福利方面所发挥的多方面和不断变化的作用。作为解释北欧国家高工会化率的一个重要制度特征,这一制度一直备受争议。本文全面介绍了国家失业福利制度(UBS)的缩减以及提供互补保护的职业和私人UBS支柱的发展。它还介绍了正在进行的改革讨论,建议社会伙伴通过集体协议管理失业保险制度,同时保留与工会挂钩的保险基金。事实证明,根特体系的核心制度特征——自愿加入与工会挂钩的保险基金——正变得极具弹性,尽管人们频频试图削弱由此产生的工会权力。然而,该制度在提供失业保护方面的作用由于其发展为多支柱结构而发生了变化,这意味着它的未来前景是不确定的。
