    Social Science Research Network, 2011
    Co-Authors: Edison Carrasco Jimenez
    Abstract:

    Spanish Abstract: El presente articulo tiene por objetivo constatar la presencia del contrato o Pacto Social como artefacto conceptual en la historia constitucional chilena, y respecto de algunos hitos producidos en la historia politica chilena. Para ello, luego de revisar algunas precisiones modernas en torno al concepto de contrato o Pacto Social, se adopta uno propio, a traves del cual posibilitar dichos analisis. La relacion analitica entre Pacto Social y constitucion, se verifica en el articulo teniendo como base fundamental los preambulos de las Constituciones Politicas en Chile, considerados como discursos, y que por ende implican ser un texto con significado, de cuya interpretacion se ocupara el articulo en cuestion, sin perjuicio de considerar otros discursos, tales como los declarados por la institucionalidad politica. Las practicas analizadas, seran especialmente las practicas politicas institucionales que tuvieron lugar en la historia politica chilena, y que se pueden leer como hitos historicos, a la luz de los cuales analizar metodologicamente desde el concepto de Pacto Social. English Abstract: The objective of this article is to verify the existence of the Social contract or Pact as conceptual artefact in the history of the Chilean constitution, used in certain milestones in the Chilean political history. In order to do this, a new concept of Social contract is developed based on the modern conception of Social contracts, which makes possible the analysis of this paper. The analytical relationship between Social Pact and Constitution is verified base on the preambles of the Political Constitution of Chile. These are considers as discourses, therefore it implies a text with meaning, of which interpretation is analysed in this article, however, it does not ignoring the consideration of other discourses, such as the one declared in the political institution. The practices examined here are the institutional political practices that have been taking place in the history of the Chilean politics, and can equally be considered as historical milestones. These are then evaluated methodologically with the prism of a Social Pact concept.

  • trying not to lose the electoral consequences of unilateral reform efforts and the Social Pact formation process
    European Journal of Political Research, 2018
    Co-Authors: Eric Graig Castater, Kyung Joon Han
    Abstract:

    The existing Social Pact literature claims that governing parties offer Social Pact proposals because they anticipate they will receive an electoral benefit from Social Pact agreements. Yet the available data on Social Pacts inform us that in a substantial minority of cases Social Pact proposals fail to become Social Pact agreements. In an effort to better determine the political calculations made by governments before they propose a Social Pact, this article examines the effect of implementing reform legislation unilaterally, Social Pact proposals, Social Pact proposal failures and Social Pact agreements on the vote share of government parties in 15 Western European countries between 1981 and 2006. It is found that Social Pact proposals do not have any electoral consequences for governing parties, unilateral legislation and Social Pact proposal failures reduce the vote share of governing parties, and Social Pact agreements provide an electoral benefit to parties in minority governments only. These findings suggest that governing parties propose Social Pacts in a good faith effort to complete a Social Pact agreement; and that such an agreement is not a way for these parties to gain votes, but to avoid the electoral punishment associated with enacting unpopular reforms unilaterally.

  • deal or no deal why do Social Pact proposals fail
    West European Politics, 2016
    Co-Authors: Eric Graig Castater, Kyung Joon Han
    Abstract:

    AbstractSince 1980, over one-quarter of Social Pact proposals have failed to result in Social Pact agreements. In order to explain this high failure rate, the Social Pact formation process is broken down into two stages. In the first stage, governments decide whether to propose a Pact. In the second stage, governments and labour unions decide whether to complete a Pact agreement. Using data on Social Pacts in Western Europe, the article finds that Pact proposals are likelier in the presence of moderately centralised unions, high unemployment, and large budget deficits; but that Pact agreements are likelier when employers’ associations are centralised, and labour unions have a high degree of organisational centralisation, low membership fractionalisation, and represent a small share of workers. It is submitted that the inability of moderately centralised unions to complete a Social Pact agreement may be a primary cause of the high failure rate of Social Pact proposals.

    Social Science Research Network, 2006
    Co-Authors: Peter W Jones
    Abstract:

    Most members of the Private Sector Organization of Jamaica (PSOJ) are operating on a Static Competitive Business Model (SCBM) as opposed to a Dynamic Competitive Business Model (DCBM), which is what is required for firms to survive in the nano-second thinking era of the Knowledge Based Society And Economy (KBSE); Will those survive who are ignoring the new model and does the Government of Jamaica have a role to play?

    Co-Authors: Michele Mioni
    Abstract:

    Cette these concerne les politiques Sociales en Grande-Bretagne, dans l'Etat francais, ainsi que dans l'Italie fasciste pendant la Deuxieme guerre mondiale. Mon approche ne se borne pas aux annees de guerre. Il tient en compte la dependance des precedentes politiques dans les trois Pays, et elle est ouverte aux developpements de l'apres-guerre. J'ai reparti ce travail en trois parties, en poursuivant des criteres methodologiques et thematiques. Dans la premiere partie, j'ai donne un apercu des politiques Sociales dans les trois Pays de la fin du 19e siecle jusqu'au declenchement de la guerre. Dans cette section, j'ai analyse la nature incrementielle des politiques Sociales, en retracant les heritages en matiere de politique Sociale dans chaque Pays. De toute maniere, les autres deuxieme et troisiemes parties constituent le cœur de la recherche. La deuxieme partie est une analyse comparee des politiques mises en place pendant la guerre, ainsi que des projets formules pour l'apres-guerre. Elle est divisee en trois chapitres qui correspondent a chaque Pays examine, avec un chapitre conclusif ou les resultats de la recherche sont croises, afin de renforcer la comprehension comparative du sujet. La troisieme partie porte sur un examen compare/transnational de l'exploitation politique des reformes Sociales. D'un cote, la politique Sociale a ete utilisee pour renforcer le front interieur gagner le consensus. De l'autre cote, la diffusion des informations et de la propagande sur les projets de reforme pour l'apres-guerre devait jouer le role primaire dans la reconstruction des relations internationales apres la guerre.

    Abstract:

    The PhD dissertation concerns the Social policies in Great Britain, Vichy France and Fascist Italy during World War II. This work, however, takes into account the path dependences and policy legacies, and opens up to the further developments of the immediate postwar years. The expansion of compulsory schemes, healthcare and other Social provisions is an incremental process, but WWII provided the trigger for a qualitative leap in the political goals and extent of public Social policy. The dissertation studies the policy convergences and the ideological divergences in tackling the issue of public Social protection in the three countries. The British universalistic reforms reformulated the “Social Pact” around the enhancement of the rights of citizenship, strengthening the bonds of Social solidarity thanks to the mediation of the State. The coeval proposals in Fascist Italy and in Vichy France opted for different approaches. In Italy, the regime tried to pass a set of provisions to redefine the industrial relations and the income distribution. The Vichy’s ruling classes, instead, tried to recast a corporative order, spreading “occupational solidarity” in each industrial branch. In all these countries there was no consensus on detailed policies, while the common ground was the strengthening of the compulsory insurances; the administrative unification and rationalization; the incorporation of the Social welfare as a core State policy area; the overcoming of the Social unrest and Social question through the establishment of links of solidarity among the members of the national communities. The “total war” triggered Social change due to domestic stabilization and to the ideological content of WWII. The promotion of Social enhancement for a “better future” was a key point of propaganda. In Britain, the Social plans were a tool to re-assert the role of the country as a leader in the postwar settlement. The military victory of the Allies made possible the spreading of Social security. The British universalistic model did not become a model in the Continent, but its core principles fueled the postwar debates and plans of Social reforms. The study shows the intermingling of different processes at the root of the shift from the “Social insurances” to the “Social security” during and after WWII. On the one hand, some political principles and administrative practices gradually emerged, irrespective of the different political regimes and levels of industrialization. On the other, WWII brought about two different views concerning the goals and the role of the Social protection in the modern societies.
