In recent years, there has been a resurgence of scholarly interest in the role played by business in American politics—interest flowing not only from the subfield of American political development but many other precincts of academia as well. The questions that motivate scholars are as diverse as they are numerous, but a number of core concerns recur. How politically powerful is business? What is the source of its power? How should its policy preferences be characterized, and how are they represented in the political process? How should scholars go about identifying these policy preferences? Does the political power of business ultimately distort the quality of democratic representation in the United States? If so, how? The first four articles in this issue of Studies make up a special SAPD Forum that addresses these and other important questions. Our point of departure is an important article by Peter Swenson recently appearing in these pages. Readers familiar with Swenson’s article, “Misrepresented Interests,” will remember that it takes up and contributes to a long-standing discussion about whether and how organized business shaped the passage and design of health care policy in the United States. One of Swenson’s central arguments is that business should not be presumptively regarded as opposing the establishment and expansion of social programs. In his reading of the literature on the formation of the American welfare state, scholars across several disciplines are said to share the implicit “belief that there is a pervasive and enduring antagonism between business and the welfare state” (p. 1, all parenthetical page references in the introduction are citing Swenson, “Misrepresented Interests,” unless otherwise indicated). Even when employers, owners, or their organizational representatives are observed explicitly voicing their support for social legislation, such statements are sometimes interpreted as a strategic accommodation to larger political realities that limit what is possible. Swenson argues that expressions of support for a policy are not the only form of strategic accommodation practiced by sophisticated political actors such as business—so are expressions of opposition to a policy (p. 3). What is needed to distinguish various kinds of strategically motivated position taking from actual preferences is a clear and precise sense of the economic interests in play. When information about economic interests is weighed and considered, he argues, it becomes evident that business stances toward the welfare state are variable, and there are indeed circumstances in which it is not only imaginable but perhaps even likely that selected segments of the business community sincerely support particular incarnations of the welfare state (pp. 3–4). Swenson substantiates his argument through a look at the political development of health care policy in the United States, focusing especially on the passage and design of Medicare in 1965.

近年来,学术界对商业在美国政治中所扮演的角色的兴趣再次抬头,这种兴趣不仅来自美国政治发展的分支领域,也来自学术界的许多其他领域。激励学者的问题种类繁多,但有一些核心问题反复出现。商业在政治上有多强大?它的力量来源是什么?它的政策偏好应该如何表征?它们在政治进程中如何体现?学者们应该如何识别这些政策偏好呢?商业的政治力量最终会扭曲美国民主代表制的质量吗?如果有,怎么做?本期《研究》的前四篇文章组成了一个特殊的SAPD论坛,讨论这些和其他重要问题。我们的出发点是彼得·斯文森最近发表在本刊上的一篇重要文章。熟悉斯文森文章《被歪曲的利益》(Misrepresented Interests)的读者应该记得,这篇文章提出并促成了一个长期存在的讨论,即有组织的企业是否以及如何影响了美国医疗保健政策的通过和设计。斯文森的核心论点之一是,企业不应被推定为反对建立和扩大社会项目。在他阅读有关美国福利国家形成的文献时,据说几个学科的学者都有一个隐含的“信念,即企业和福利国家之间存在着普遍而持久的对抗”(第1页,引言中所有插入页的参考文献都引用了斯文森的“被歪曲的利益”,除非另有说明)。即使雇主、业主或他们的组织代表明确表示支持社会立法,这种声明有时也被解释为对更大的政治现实的战略适应,从而限制了可能的事情。斯文森认为,对一项政策的支持并不是商业等老练的政治行为者所实践的战略适应的唯一形式,反对一项政策的表达也是如此(第3页)。要区分各种出于战略动机的立场与实际偏好,需要对其中的经济利益有一个清晰而准确的认识。他认为,当有关经济利益的信息被权衡和考虑时,很明显,企业对福利国家的立场是可变的,而且确实存在这样的情况,在这种情况下,商界的某些部分不仅可以想象,甚至可能真诚地支持福利国家的特定形式(第3-4页)。斯文森通过考察美国医疗保健政策的政治发展来证实他的观点,尤其关注1965年医疗保险的通过和设计。文献中的一个主要观点认为,企业深深地反对医疗保险。斯文森提出了不同的观点。根据当时商业记者的观察、立法者的口述历史、国会证词、总统图书馆的档案研究以及立法者和利益集团的记录,他提出了一个案例,即一组重要的大雇主,他们在20世纪60年代初开始承担为退休人员提供医疗保健的责任,他们开始有兴趣探索可以减轻他们承诺的政策选择(第7-9页)。斯文森还发表了一些令他震惊的观察,这些观察与美国商会(USCC)和全国制造商协会(NAM)的观点不一致,他们表达了对医疗保险的敌意,准确地代表了他们的正式会员的观点,更不用说整个商界了。例如,一些州商会并没有明显地签署反对医疗保险的声明,只有三分之一的不结盟运动成员在他们的“东部分部”明确表示他们反对政府为老年人提供保险。此外,只有少数行业加入了USCC和NAM对医疗保险的顽固公开抵制,其中许多是由小企业组成的行业,如餐饮业(第12-13页)。斯文森将他的研究结果解释为“在医疗保险问题上,商界存在着巨大的意见分歧”的证据。的优势

Peter A. Swenson
Before addressing the commentators for their thoughtful input on “Misrepresented Interests,” let me first thank the editors of Studies in American Political Development for providing a forum for an enduring debate about the power of capitalists in capitalist democracies like the United States. As a comparativist, I ventured into that complicated territory after extensive research in Sweden, where I discovered to my great surprise that the Social Democrat labor movement was kicking at open doors as it introduced each piece of Sweden's famous system of industrial relations and social insurance. Sweden's undeniably powerful employers stood contentedly aside and had no interest in closing the doors afterward. I was able to come to that conclusion with confidence only because the Swedish Employers’ Confederation had allowed me extraordinary access to their entire archives, confidential minutes, internal and external correspondence, and the diaries of a former chief executive.
在向评论员们介绍他们对“被误导的利益”的深思熟虑之前,我首先要感谢《美国政治发展研究》的编辑们,他们为一场关于美国等资本主义民主国家资本家权力的持久辩论提供了一个论坛。作为一名比较主义者,我在瑞典进行了广泛的研究后,冒险进入了这个复杂的领域。在那里,我非常惊讶地发现,社会民主党劳工运动在引入瑞典著名的劳资关系和社会保险制度的每一部分时,都在敞开大门。不可否认,瑞典强大的雇主满足地站在一边,没有兴趣在之后关门。我之所以能够满怀信心地得出这个结论,是因为瑞典雇主联合会允许我特别查阅他们的全部档案、机密会议记录、内部和外部信件,以及一位前首席执行官的日记。

From Labor Law to Employment Law: The Changing Politics of Workers’ Rights 从劳动法到雇佣法:工人权利政治的变迁

Over the past several decades, a new kind of labor politics has emerged in new venues (state and local levels), focusing on new governing institutions (employment laws), involving new strategies by labor unions, and featuring new organizational forms (“alt-labor”). The timing, form, and content of these developments have been powerfully shaped by the persistence of the increasingly outmoded but still authoritative national labor law, which has constrained and channeled the efforts of workers and their advocates to respond to growing problems. While the new institutions and organizations provide new substantive rights for workers and alternative vehicles for voice and collective action, the layering of these new forms alongside the old—without displacing the latter—has generated new problems without solving the problems produced by the ossification of labor law in the first place. Using novel empirical data and analysis, this article documents these changes, explores their causes, and considers their consequences for the changing politics of workers’ rights.
在过去的几十年里,一种新的劳工政治出现在新的场所(州和地方层面),重点是新的管理机构(就业法),涉及工会的新战略,并以新的组织形式(“另类劳工”)为特色。这些发展的时间、形式和内容都受到日益过时但仍然权威的国家劳动法的持续存在的有力影响,该法限制并引导了工人及其倡导者应对日益严重的问题的努力。虽然新的机构和组织为工人提供了新的实质性权利,并为声音和集体行动提供了替代工具,但这些新形式与旧形式的分层(而不是取代后者)产生了新的问题,而没有解决劳动法僵化所产生的问题。本文使用新颖的实证数据和分析,记录了这些变化,探讨了它们的原因,并考虑了它们对工人权利政治变化的影响。

Ascertaining Business's Interests and Political Preferences 确定企业利益和政治偏好

Medicare is one of the largest social programs in the world. Did organized industry favor Medicare's passage in 1965? If it did, this would represent powerful evidence in favor of the theory that social programs typically require cross-class alliances to pass, such as alliances between business and labor. However, in a previous article in this journal, I argued that answering questions about political actors’ preferences—such as whether organized industry favored Medicare's passage—can be surprisingly difficult due to the “problem of preferences”; that is, political actors might misrepresent their true policy preferences for many reasons. For example, when their ideal proposals are not politically feasible, political actors may wish to bolster support for a more politically viable alternative to a disliked proposal—even if they do not truly support this alternative to the status quo. To better understand political actors’ true policy preferences, I argued, scholars should trace how those actors’ expressed preferences change as a function of their strategic context—just as scholars seeking to understand the impact of any other variable trace the effects of changes in it.
医疗保险是世界上最大的社会项目之一。1965年,有组织的行业支持医疗保险的通过吗?如果真的这样做了,这将代表有力的证据,支持社会项目通常需要跨阶级联盟才能通过的理论,例如企业和劳工之间的联盟。然而,在本杂志之前的一篇文章中,我认为,由于“偏好问题”,回答有关政治行为者偏好的问题——比如有组织的行业是否支持医疗保险的通过——可能会令人惊讶地困难;也就是说,出于多种原因,政治行动者可能会歪曲他们的真实政策偏好。例如,当他们理想的提案在政治上不可行时,政治行为者可能希望支持一种更具政治可行性的替代方案,以取代不受欢迎的提案——即使他们并不真正支持这种替代现状的方案。我认为,为了更好地了解政治行为者的真实政策偏好,学者们应该追踪这些行为者表达的偏好是如何随着其战略背景而变化的——就像试图了解任何其他变量影响的学者追踪其变化的影响一样。

Corporations and the American Welfare State: Adversaries or Allies? 公司和美国福利国家:对手还是盟友?

One of the most widely held views about American political life is that business is hostile to the welfare state. In the 1970s, David Vogel asked why American businessmen “distrusted their state.” Kim Phillips-Fein has written of the “businessmen's crusade against the New Deal.” Jane Mayer and Nancy MacLean have recounted the efforts of the Koch Brothers and their wealthy allies to remake American politics in a more conservative direction. What could be more uncontroversial than the view that American business is broadly opposed to government social policies?
关于美国政治生活,最普遍的观点之一是,商界对福利国家抱有敌意。在20世纪70年代,大卫·沃格尔(David Vogel)问道,为什么美国商人“不信任他们的国家”。金·菲利普斯-费恩(Kim Phillips-Fein)曾写过“商人对新政的讨伐”。简·梅尔(Jane Mayer)和南希·麦克莱恩(Nancy MacLean)讲述了科赫兄弟(Koch Brothers)及其富有的盟友为将美国政治重塑为更保守的方向所做的努力。还有什么比美国企业普遍反对政府的社会政策这一观点更没有争议呢?

Constructive Welfare: The Social Security Act, the Blind, and the Origins of Political Identity among People with Disabilities, 1935–1950 建设性福利:《社会保障法》、盲人和残疾人政治身份的起源,1935-1950

In contemporary America, identifying as a person with a disability is one of the many ways in which people acknowledge, even celebrate, who they are. Yet several decades ago, few persons with disabilities saw their condition as an identity to be embraced, let alone to serve as the basis for affinity and collective mobilization. The transformation of disability from unmitigated tragedy to a collective and politicized identity emerged in national politics, not in the 1960s or 1970s, as is commonly thought, but in the 1940s. During those years, the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) set out to galvanize the nation's blind men and women, most of them poor and unemployed, to demand the economic security and opportunity enjoyed by sighted Americans. This aspiration for equal citizenship led the NFB into protracted contests with the Social Security Administration (SSA) over aid to the poor and sharpened the organization's resolve to represent the nation's civilian blind. Long before disability rights activists declared “nothing about us, without us,” the NFB insisted that only the blind, not sighted social workers or experts in blindness, were entitled to speak on behalf of the blind. Pioneering an organizing strategy and a critique of American liberalism later embraced by activists of the Left, the NFB rose to become one of the most effective civil rights and antipoverty organizations of its time. Today, however, its story has been largely forgotten.
在当代美国,认同残疾人是人们承认甚至庆祝自己的众多方式之一。然而,几十年前,很少有残疾人将自己的状况视为一种需要接受的身份,更不用说作为亲和力和集体动员的基础了。残疾从彻底的悲剧转变为集体和政治化的身份在国家政治中出现,不是在20世纪60年代或70年代,而是在20世纪40年代。在那些年里,全国盲人联合会(NFB)开始激励全国的盲人男女,其中大多数是穷人和失业者,要求有视力的美国人享有经济保障和机会。这种对平等公民身份的渴望导致NFB与社会保障管理局(SSA)就援助穷人展开了旷日持久的竞争,并坚定了该组织代表国家盲人的决心。早在残疾人权利活动家宣布“没有我们,就没有我们”之前,国家残疾人委员会就坚持认为,只有盲人,而不是有视力的社会工作者或盲人专家,才有权代表盲人发言。NFB开创了一种组织策略,并批判了后来被左翼活动家所接受的美国自由主义,它崛起为当时最有效的民权和反贫困组织之一。然而,今天,它的故事基本上被遗忘了。

Today, however, its story has been largely forgotten.","PeriodicalId":45195,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Political Development","volume":"6 1","pages":"110 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/S0898588X18000172","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41293363","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}

American politics has been transformed by the emergence of the advocacy party—a form of organization in which extraparty interest groups, advocacy organizations, and social movements substitute for the diminished institutional capacity and popular legitimacy of the formal party apparatus. Many scholars have rightly pointed to the presidential nomination reforms made by the Democratic Party's post-1968 Commission on Party Structure and Delegate Selection (known as the McGovern-Fraser Commission) as a key contributor to polarization by increasing the influence of ideological activists. However, I argue that polarization is not the direct result of the actions of McGovern-Fraser reformers, but rather the outcome of their pitched battle with intraparty opponents of reform, who, while failing to prevent changes to presidential nominations, were ultimately successful in defeating the party-building dimension of the reformers’ project of party reconstruction. The product of their intraparty struggle was a hybrid institutional amalgam that layered new participatory arrangements over a hollow party structure, thus setting the Democratic Party on a path toward the advocacy party and its polarizing politics.
倡导政党的出现改变了美国政治——在这种组织形式中,党外利益集团、倡导组织和社会运动取代了正式政党机构日益削弱的制度能力和民众合法性。许多学者正确地指出,民主党在1968年后成立的政党结构和代表选拔委员会(即麦戈文-弗雷泽委员会)所进行的总统提名改革,增加了意识形态活动人士的影响力,是导致两极分化的关键因素。然而,我认为,两极分化并不是麦戈文-弗雷泽改革者行动的直接结果,而是他们与党内改革反对者激烈斗争的结果,这些反对者虽然未能阻止总统提名的改变,但最终成功地挫败了改革者重建党的建党计划。他们党内斗争的产物是一个混合制度的混合体,在一个空洞的政党结构上分层了新的参与安排,从而使民主党走上了一条走向倡导政党及其两极分化政治的道路。

Business Interests and the Shape of the U.S. Welfare State: From the Insurance Company Model to Comprehensive Reform 商业利益与美国福利国家的形成:从保险公司模式到全面改革

Peter Swenson's excellent article is a welcome correction to the consensus argument so often found in welfare state literature. That interpretation depicts a never-ending, dualistic struggle between capitalists and “the people,” as represented by welfare reformers. Swenson sorts through the evidence surrounding post-1960 health care debates, particularly Medicare, to demonstrate that “business” is not a fixed, homogeneous group that conforms neatly to class-based analysis. He finds significant business backing for federal programming and also shows that where trade associations took conservative, anti-reform stands, they often did so without strong member support.
彼得·斯文森的优秀文章对福利国家文献中经常出现的共识论点进行了可喜的修正。这种解释描绘了资本家和以福利改革者为代表的“人民”之间无休止的二元斗争。斯文森整理了围绕1960年后医疗保健辩论的证据,特别是医疗保险,以证明“商业”不是一个固定的、同质的群体,完全符合基于阶级的分析。他为联邦计划找到了重要的商业支持,也表明在贸易协会采取保守、反改革立场的地方,他们往往没有得到强有力的成员支持。
