La sfida della rappresentanza: L’ambito specifico di quella industriale

LIUC Papers in Economics from Cattaneo University (LIUC)

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to better define the meaning of industrial representation, fixing its distinctive context. To do so reference will be made to a scheme called ‘representation axis’ which connects the private concept to the political one. The analysis proceeds to answer such typical questions as the one regarding the main difference between industrial associations, or trade unions, and political parties. In so doing one will consider the recurring issue about political and private interests, as well as the management of social complexity. In passing one will touch upon the problem concerning efficiency in collective bargaining or political decisions. Pluralism as well as neo-corporatism will be considered as an insufficient but necessary expression of civil society aimed at preserving civil liberties from government power. In the end one concludes that industrial representation, as well as every expression of pluralism, appears to be as much a problem as it is a solution.
