Abstract

This chapter considers the extent of the transfer of the European social model (ESM) of employment relations into Bulgaria through examining the examples of French multinational companies (MNCs). The choice of French MNC subsidiaries was determined by the role of the distinctive French social model and its influence on the ESM. Some authors suggest that the ESM is entering a crisis as it increasingly accommodates neo-liberal solutions (Schierup et al., 2006). This development also reflects upon the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) where tripartite social partnerships have not succeeded in raising industrial relations norms to those of the ESM. In some countries these partnerships are more a ‘façade’ with negligible influence on economic outcomes (Martin and Cristescu-Martin, 2004: 635).
