Abstract: When economic development is considered, political economy is at stake; in this perspective growth or counter-growth forces operate within the institutional framework. The analysis focuses on corporatist forms of social dialogue in the international environment of the EU and within the European structures. First, the notion of corporatism as opposed to other institutionalized channels of access is explained. Then, the paper presents corporatist forms at the national level under change. Next, it deals with interest coordination at the European Commission lev-el. The paper concludes that an erosion of corporatist forms is visible; no embrac-ing pattern in the EU should be expected instead; on the contrary, increasing fragmentation of lobbying is observed.
